DuckDuckGo Search API

Live DuckDuckGo web results for any query and region: organic results with title, real destination link, displayed URL and snippet, plus the instant answer box when DuckDuckGo shows one. Set page (1-10) for deeper results: positions continue across pages (page 2 starts at 11) and every page is billed as one request. Bot-check pages are detected and never charged.
