I have an AI Assistant project and I want it to search in internet. I want to use Google Quick Answer Box or DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API for Python. I saw other questions but they didn't help me so much. Here is an example what I want to achieve:
Question: What is giraffe?
Google's Answer:
DuckDuckGo's Answer:
As you can see the answers start with,
'The giraffe is an African artiodactyl mammal...'
How can I get this text using Python? (let me say 'what is giraffe' is an example. i want to use this method almost everything like 'tell me president of united states' etc.)
You can use duckduckgo API as suggested in the comments using :
GET https://api.duckduckgo.com?q=[your query]&format=json
Here is an example using python :
import requests
query = "What is giraffe?"
r = requests.get("https://api.duckduckgo.com",
params = {
"q": query,
"format": "json"
})
data = r.json()
print(data)
print("Abstract")
print(data["Abstract"])
Output:
The giraffe is an African artiodactyl mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. ..........
