What it is

DDGS is a metasearch library that aggregates results from diverse web search services. It provides programmatic interfaces to perform text, images, videos, news, and books searches, as well as content extraction from URLs. It includes API server and MCP server support for distributed usage.

How it works

The project exposes a DDGS class with lazy loading. It supports multiple backends (e.g., for text: bing, brave, duckduckgo, google, etc.). Each search function (text, images, videos, news, books) accepts backend, region, safesearch, timelimit, max_results, page, and other backend-specific filters. An extract() function fetches a URL and returns content in formats such as text_markdown, text_plain, text_rich, text, or content (bytes).

Getting started

Install the base package and optional servers:

pip install -U ddgs       # Base install
pip install -U ddgs[api]  # API server (FastAPI)
pip install -U ddgs[mcp]  # MCP server (stdio)

CLI usage is shown as:

ddgs api              # Start server in foreground

MCP client configuration and endpoints are documented in the README, including how to start the MCP server and available tools.
