This is an unofficial Duckduckgo API created to grab the first 25 results queried from <duckduckgo.com>. The website <duckduckgo.com> does provide an api, however I didn't like the results. So, now we are here... I rolled my own unofficial Duckduckgo API for easy utilization in a Java based project. Just make sure you're rocking maven in project, and you're in our little club 😉

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your localmachine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how todeploy the project on a live system.

Java 8 is required to run this application, other than that there are noprerequisites for the project, as the dependencies are included in thepom.xml file.

To install the library is as simple as cloning the repository and building a jar fileby running

mvn clean package

Then it's as easy as importing the jar into you project as a dependency! Alternatively,you can install the library via a maven repository. Simply add the following to yourprojectspom.xml file

<dependency>    <groupId>org.bitnick.web</groupId>    <artifactId>duckduckgo</artifactId>    <version>[CURRENT VERSION]</version></dependency>

And have fun!

Run unit tests locally:

mvntest

Import the module and instantiate theWebSearch() constructor by calling the static methodWebSearch.instanceOf(). Finally, call the search method and enjoy!

WebSearchwebSearchTest =WebSearch.instanceOf();List<SearchResult>anonfileResults =webSearchTest.search("anonfile api");anonfileResults.forEach(x ->System.out.printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n\n",x.getTitle(),x.getUrl(),x.getDescription()));

Lightweight and simple searching on the Duckduckgo website. Enjoy!
