WEBS and AsyncWEBS classes
The WEBS and AsyncWEBS classes are used to retrieve search results from DuckDuckGo.com and yep.com periodically. To use the AsyncWEBS class, you can perform asynchronous operations using Python's asyncio library. To initialize an instance of the WEBS or AsyncWEBS classes, you can provide the following optional arguments:
Here is an example of initializing the WEBS class:
from webscout import WEBS
# Instantiating the WEBS class from webscout module
WEBS_instance = WEBS()
# Fetching text results for the query "python programming" with a maximum of 5 results
results = [result for result in WEBS_instance.text("python programming", max_results=5)]
# Displaying the obtained results
print(results)
Here is an example of initializing the AsyncWEBS class:
import asyncio
import logging
import sys
from itertools import chain
from random import shuffle
import requests
from webscout import AsyncWEBS
# bypass curl-cffi NotImplementedError in windows https://curl-cffi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq/
if sys.platform.lower().startswith("win"):
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
def get_words():
word_site = "https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000"
resp = requests.get(word_site)
words = resp.text.splitlines()
return words
async def aget_results(word):
async with AsyncWEBS(proxies=proxies) as WEBS:
results = [r async for r in WEBS.text(word, max_results=None)]
return results
async def main():
words = get_words()
shuffle(words)
tasks = []
for word in words[:10]:
tasks.append(aget_results(word))
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
print(f"Done")
for r in chain.from_iterable(results):
print(r)
if __name__ == "__main__":
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
asyncio.run(main())
It is important to note that the WEBS and AsyncWEBS classes should always be used as a context manager (with statement). This ensures proper resource management and cleanup, as the context manager will automatically handle opening and closing the HTTP client connection.
Exceptions
Exceptions:
WebscoutE
: Raised when there is a generic exception during the API request.
Here are the rewritten Python scripts for accessing various functionalities using the WEBS class from the webscout module, in HelpingAI style, for DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com without explicitly specifying the search engine:
1. text()
- text search by DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Text search for 'live free or die' using DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
for r in WEBS.text('live free or die', region='wt-wt', safesearch='off', timelimit='y', max_results=10):
print(r)
for r in WEBS.text('live free or die', region='wt-wt', safesearch='off', timelimit='y', max_results=10):
print(r)
2. answers()
- instant answers by DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Instant answers for the query "sun" using DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
for r in WEBS.answers("sun"):
print(r)
3. images()
- image search by DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Image search for the keyword 'butterfly' using DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
keywords = 'butterfly'
WEBS_images_gen = WEBS.images(
keywords,
region="wt-wt",
safesearch="off",
size=None,
color="Monochrome",
type_image=None,
layout=None,
license_image=None,
max_results=100,
)
for r in WEBS_images_gen:
print(r)
4. videos()
- video search by DuckDuckGo.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Video search for the keyword 'tesla' using DuckDuckGo.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
keywords = 'tesla'
WEBS_videos_gen = WEBS.videos(
keywords,
region="wt-wt",
safesearch="off",
timelimit="w",
resolution="high",
duration="medium",
max_results=100,
)
for r in WEBS_videos_gen:
print(r)
5. news()
- news search by DuckDuckGo.com and yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# News search for the keyword 'holiday' using DuckDuckGo.com and yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
keywords = 'holiday'
WEBS_news_gen = WEBS.news(
keywords,
region="wt-wt",
safesearch="off",
timelimit="m",
max_results=20
)
for r in WEBS_news_gen:
print(r)
6. maps()
- map search by DuckDuckGo.com and
from webscout import WEBS
# Map search for the keyword 'school' in 'anantnag' using DuckDuckGo.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
for r in WEBS.maps("school", place="anantnag", max_results=50):
print(r)
7. translate()
- translation by DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Translation of the keyword 'school' to German ('hi') using DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
keywords = 'school'
r = WEBS.translate(keywords, to="hi")
print(r)
8. suggestions()
- suggestions by DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
from webscout import WEBS
# Suggestions for the keyword 'fly' using DuckDuckGo.com and Yep.com
with WEBS() as WEBS:
for r in WEBS.suggestions("fly"):
print(r)
