Installation
# Install via uv (Recommended) uv pip install ddgs # Or install via pip pip install ddgs
1. Text Search
The most commonly used search method, returning webpage results: python -c " from ddgs import DDGS query = 'your search query' results = DDGS().text( query, region='wt-wt', # Region: cn-zh (China), us-en (US), wt-wt (Global) safesearch='moderate', # Safe search: on, moderate, off timelimit='m', # Time range: d (day), w (week), m (month), y (year), None (unlimited) max_results=10, # Maximum number of results backend='auto' # Backends: auto, duckduckgo, brave, bing, etc. ) for i, r in enumerate(results, 1): print(f\"{i}. {r.get('title')}\") print(f\" URL: {r.get('href')}\") print(f\" Snippet: {str(r.get('body'))[:100]}...\n\") "
2. News Search
Search for the latest news: python -c " from ddgs import DDGS results = DDGS().news( 'AI technology', region='wt-wt', safesearch='moderate', timelimit='d', # d=past 24 hours, w=past week, m=past month max_results=10 ) for r in results: print(f\"๐ฐ {r.get('title')}\") print(f\" Source: {r.get('source')}\") print(f\" Date: {r.get('date')}\") print(f\" Link: {r.get('url')}\n\") "
3. Image Search
Search for image resources: python -c " from ddgs import DDGS results = DDGS().images( 'cute cats', region='wt-wt', safesearch='moderate', size='Medium', # Small, Medium, Large, Wallpaper type_image='photo', # photo, clipart, gif, transparent, line layout='Square', # Square, Tall, Wide max_results=10 ) for r in results: print(f\"๐ผ๏ธ {r.get('title')}\") print(f\" Image: {r.get('image')}\") print(f\" Thumbnail: {r.get('thumbnail')}\") print(f\" Source: {r.get('source')}\n\") "
4. Video Search
Search for video content: python -c " from ddgs import DDGS results = DDGS().videos( 'Python programming', region='wt-wt', safesearch='moderate', timelimit='w', # d, w, m resolution='high', # high, standard duration='medium', # short, medium, long max_results=10 ) for r in results: print(f\"๐น {r.get('title')}\") print(f\" Duration: {r.get('duration', 'N/A')}\") print(f\" Publisher: {r.get('publisher')}\") print(f\" Link: {r.get('content')}\n\") "
5. Books Search
Search for books: python -c " from ddgs import DDGS results = DDGS().books( 'sea wolf jack london', max_results=5 ) for r in results: print(f\"๐ {r.get('title')}\") print(f\" Author: {r.get('author')}\") print(f\" Publisher: {r.get('publisher')}\") print(f\" Link: {r.get('link')}\n\") "
Reusable Search Function
python -c " from ddgs import DDGS def web_search(query, search_type='text', max_results=5, region='wt-wt', timelimit=None): ''' Execute DDGS search Args: query: Search keyword search_type: text, news, images, videos, books max_results: Maximum results region: Region (cn-zh, us-en, wt-wt) timelimit: Time limit (d, w, m, y) ''' ddgs = DDGS() if search_type == 'text': return list(ddgs.text(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results)) elif search_type == 'news': return list(ddgs.news(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results)) elif search_type == 'images': return list(ddgs.images(query, region=region, max_results=max_results)) elif search_type == 'videos': return list(ddgs.videos(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results)) elif search_type == 'books': return list(ddgs.books(query, max_results=max_results)) return [] results = web_search('Python 3.12 new features', max_results=5) print(f'๐ Found {len(results)} results') "

Basic Error Handling
python -c " from ddgs import DDGS from ddgs.exceptions import DDGSException try: results = DDGS().text('test query', max_results=5) print(f'โ Search successful, found {len(results)} results') except DDGSException as e: print(f'โ Search error: {e}') except Exception as e: print(f'โ Unknown error: {e}') "
Using Proxies
python -c " from ddgs import DDGS # Set proxy (supports http/https/socks5) proxy = 'http://127.0.0.1:7890' results = DDGS(proxy=proxy).text('test query', max_results=5) print(f'Successfully searched via proxy, found {len(results)} results') "
FAQ
Installation Failed? pip install --upgrade pip pip install ddgs No Results Found? Check your network connection. Try using a proxy. Simplify your search query. Verify that your region settings are correct. Rate Limited? Add a delay between multiple requests (e.g., import time; time.sleep(1)). Reduce the max_results per request.
Integration Example
# 1. Search with DDGS python -c " from ddgs import DDGS results = DDGS().text('Python async tutorial', max_results=1) if results: print(f\"URL: {results[0].get('href')}\") " # 2. Open result with your browser-use tool browser-use open <url_from_search> โ ๏ธ Best Practices: Respect Rate Limits: Avoid sending a massive volume of requests in a short period. Optimize Results: Do not request more results than necessary in a single query. Add Delays: Use time.sleep() when executing batch searches. Handle Exceptions: Always wrap your API calls in try/except blocks. Copyright Awareness: Search results are for reference only; respect the copyright of the indexed content.
