DuckDuckGo Search

Free web search using DuckDuckGo. No API key required.

Preferred when web_search tool is unavailable or unsuitable (no FIRECRAWL_API_KEY set). Can also be used as a standalone search tool.

Setup

# Install the ddgs package (one-time)
pip install ddgs

Python API (Primary)

Use the DDGS class in execute_code for structured results with typed fields.

Important: max_results must always be passed as a keyword argument — positional usage raises an error on all methods.
