Web Search

Type a query, get the top results with title, URL and snippet — from the keyless DuckDuckGo HTML endpoint, no API key, no account, no human step. Computed per call; the table below renders the pinned transcript offline.

as-of: — DDG serves results per IP with a challenge state after repeated probes; the pinned transcript is the record for this page. Live mode is the CLI below.

Live mode (CLI)

python3 web_search.py --live "your query" — fetches the keyless endpoint (stdlib urllib, curl fallback) and prints the same report JSON; refuses (exit 4) on an empty query or a page with zero parseable results.

Method. One keyless GET to html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=… with a descriptive UA. A stdlib HTMLParser walk takes one result per a.result__a anchor in document order; the snippet is the next a.result__snippet anchor. DDG links through /l/?uddg=<urlencoded> — the real URL is the uddg parameter, decoded once (direct hrefs pass through with a scheme). Pin: .
