You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.

Setup

var duckduckgosearchAPI = require('@apiverve/duckduckgosearch');
var api = new duckduckgosearchAPI({
    api_key: [YOUR_API_KEY],
    secure: true //(Optional, defaults to true)
});

Perform Request

Using the API client, you can perform requests to the API.

Define Query

var query = {
  query: "computer science"
};

Simple Request (using Callback)

api.execute(query, function (error, data) {
    if (error) {
        return console.error(error);
    } else {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

Example Response
