Please note that this module cannot be used in a browser because of duckduckgo CORS policy.

Installation

You can install the duckduckgo-search module using npm:

npm install --save duckduckgo-search

Usage

Import the module in your JavaScript file:

const duckduckgoSearch = require("duckduckgo-search");

Perform an image search using the images function:

(async () => {
  for await (const result of duckDuckGoSearch.images("example keywords")) {
    console.log(result);
  }
})();

Perform a text search using the textApi function:

(async () => {
  for await (const result of duckDuckGoSearch.text("example keywords")) {
    console.log(result);
  }
})();

Replace "example keywords" with the actual keywords you want to search for.

Please note that the duckduckgo-search module returns results asynchronously using ES6 async iterators, which is why we are using the for await...of loop to iterate over the results.
