DuckDuckGo Scraper for CSV Search Results
This DuckDuckGo scraper turns editable DuckDuckGo HTML search URLs into a structured CSV. Import the template into the UScraper local desktop app, replace the sample keywords, and export keyword, title, result URL, main site, visible date, and snippet rows without building browser automation or paying for a search API.

At a glance
DuckDuckGo to CSV without a hosted SERP API
Export search results into fixed fields
Use this template when you need DuckDuckGo to CSV output for spreadsheets, BI tools, audits, or enrichment workflows. Each row keeps the original keyword beside the visible result content and resolved destination.
Handle keyword batches and pagination
Add one or many DuckDuckGo HTML search URLs to the Navigate block. UScraper processes each URL, exports the current page, clicks Next when available, and only advances when a page has no result rows.
Keep query work on your machine
The browser session and Structured Export run in the desktop app. That is useful when a team wants a local DuckDuckGo scraper instead of sending keyword lists through a hosted scraper or API account.
Resolve redirected result links
The export logic unwraps DuckDuckGo redirect parameters where possible, so the CSV stores the final result URL and the main site origin instead of only a search-engine redirect.

Favorable to scraping
Collect public results for category terms, pivot by main_site, and pass promising domains into a follow-up contact or company enrichment workflow.
Compliance-aware teams
Local evidence
Nuanced outcome
Keep keyword lists and exports inside a controlled desktop environment while still producing reproducible search evidence for audits, policy reviews, or internal research logs.
You can pair this workflow with the Google Search Scraper, Bing Search Results Scraper, and Qwant Scraper when a report needs more than one search engine. For downstream enrichment, browse the UScraper template library or install the desktop app from UScraper download.
How to use
Configure the DuckDuckGo scraper workflow
1
Download and import
Download the free hosted JSON template from this page and import it into UScraper.
2
Edit the keyword URLs
Replace the sample Navigate URLs with approved DuckDuckGo HTML search URLs, such as https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=your+keyword.
3
Confirm the CSV folder
Structured Export writes duckduckgo-scraper.csv with headers and append mode. Change the save folder if each campaign or client needs a separate file.
4
Run the page loop
UScraper waits for result links, exports visible organic-style rows, clicks the Next control when it exists, and verifies that the next page has rows before continuing.
5
Open the output
Review row counts, spot-check a few resolved URLs, and confirm the snippets match what DuckDuckGo showed before scaling the batch.

The field set mirrors the template's Structured Export block. keyword is read from the search box or query URL, result_url resolves the outbound link, main_site stores the destination origin, date captures visible dates when DuckDuckGo includes them in the snippet, and description stores the cleaned result snippet.
Frequently asked questions
DuckDuckGo results are publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by DuckDuckGo terms, robots directives, copyright in snippets, privacy rules, and local law. Keep runs modest, avoid bypassing access controls, and get legal review before using the CSV for commercial datasets.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance notes
Keep these constraints visible
Pacing
High-volume runs can trigger checks
Start with a small keyword set, avoid aggressive parallel runs, and add longer waits if pages load slowly. Verification or rate-limit screens are a signal to pause and review the browser manually.
Selectors
Search layouts can change
The template relies on current DuckDuckGo HTML result rows and Next controls. Empty exports or missing fields usually mean the result layout changed, the page returned an unusual state, or the query produced too few visible rows.
Policy
Review rules before republishing snippets
Read DuckDuckGo's public guidance, robots directives, and your local data rules before redistributing snippets or building large commercial datasets from scraped search pages.
