Q: Hi, In this video > https://www.

You mentioned using the Serp functionality the data is being extracted from DuckDuckGo and not Google or Bing, can you explain the reason for this?
In the future will it be optional to select a specific/desired search engine based on the users needs (just a question)?

May 14, 2024A: It's mainly because it's way harder to get around the prevention methods that Bing and Google put in place to stop people from remotely accessing their search engines. Especially since we're working within a Google Sheet.
DuckDuckGo makes it a bit easier to see the top results without getting blocked so we used that because it was the only one we could get to work reliably.
Hope that explains that :)
Best,
Curran
