SE::DuckDuckGo::Images - image parser

Overview of the DuckDuckGo Images parser

img

The DuckDuckGo search results image parser. Thanks to the SE::DuckDuckGo::Images parser, you can receive databases of image links or images ready for further use. You can use queries in the same format as you enter them in the DuckDuckGo search bar.

The A-Parser functionality allows you to save the parsing settings of the DuckDuckGo parser for further use (presets), set a parsing schedule, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, enumeration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain the maximum possible number of results.

Saving results is possible in the format and structure that you need, thanks to the built-in powerful Template Toolkit template engine that allows you to apply additional logic to the results and output data in various formats, including JSON, SQL, and CSV.

Capabilities

  • Selection of the number of pages for parsing
  • Search by region
  • Selection of the output language
  • Selection of safe search
  • Indication of image size
  • Selection of image type
  • Selection of layout
  • Selection by color

Collected data

  • Links to images
  • Image anchors
  • Links to pages
  • Height and width
  • Links to previews

Use cases

  • Collecting images to fill your blogs, tubes, doorways, etc.
  • Collecting avatar databases

Queries

  • Search queries should be specified, for example:
Audi  
Box
Byron
hunting and fishing

Query substitutions

You can use built-in macros to multiply queries, for example, we want to get a very large database of forums, specify several main queries in different languages:

forum
форум
foro
论坛

In the query format, we specify the enumeration of characters from a to zzzz, this method allows you to rotate the search results to the maximum and get many new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each original search query

Results

  • As a result, a list of links by queries is displayed:
