Qwant¶

This engine uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3) to implement Qwant -Web, -News, -Images and -Videos. The API is undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of https://www.qwant.com/ queries.

For Qwant’s web-search two alternatives are implemented:

web: uses the api_url which returns a JSON structure

Configuration¶

The engine has the following additional settings:

qwant_categ

This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml:

- name: qwant
  qwant_categ: web
  ...
- name: qwant news
  qwant_categ: news
  ...
- name: qwant images
  qwant_categ: images
  ...
- name: qwant videos
  qwant_categ: videos
  ...

searx.engines.qwant.api_url = 'https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/'¶: URL of Qwant’s API (JSON)

searx.engines.qwant.request(query: str, params: OnlineParams) → None[source]¶: Qwant search request

searx.engines.qwant.response(resp: SXNG_Response) → EngineResults[source]¶: Parse results from Qwant’s API
