Other Search Engines

Scrape other search engines (Yahoo, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Baidu, etc.) with our universal source. It accepts URLs along with additional parameters.

Request samples

In the example below, we make a request to retrieve a result for the provided Baidu URL.

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "universal",
        "url": "https://www.baidu.com/s?ie=utf-8&f=8&rsv_bp=1&rsv_idx=1&ch=&tn=baidu&bar=&wd=adidas"
    }'

}

# Get response.
response = requests.request(

    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
