How DuckDuckGo News Results API works

Manually collecting data from DuckDuckGo News Results is slow, limited and hard to scale. That's why more and more teams choose our API.

STEP 1

Create an account - get instant access to API key and 1,000 free credits to get started

STEP 2

Install our Python SDK (or Node, Go, PHP, Ruby - pick your stack). Pulling DuckDuckGo News becomes a single function call per page. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.

STEP 3

Send the DuckDuckGo News URL with your API key as a parameter. Our renderer executes the page in a real browser, rotates the IP, and returns the response your scraper can act on.

STEP 4

When scraping DuckDuckGo News needs more, gain advanced parameters. render_js for JavaScript, stealth_proxy for CAPTCHAs, country_code for geo-targeting, ai_extract_rules for natural-language data extraction.

Fantastic service: works flawlessly, best support I've experienced. It just works: and its parsing meta-language is wonderfully powerful. Most importantly, the support I've received has been superlative.

Excellent service, glad we made the switch! We could always dedicate resources and build our own systems for everything... or we could simply call the scrapingBee API and focus on the data. It makes our work so much easier.
