Scrape DuckDuckGo Ad Results with Python

Contents: intro, imports, what will be scraped, process, code, links, outro.

Intro

This blog post is a continuation of DuckDuckGo web scraping series. Here you'll see how to scrape Ad Results using Python with selenium library. An alternative API solution will be shown.

Prerequisites: familiarity with selenium library and regular expressions.

Imports

from selenium import webdriver
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What will be scraped

image

Process

Selecting title, link, snippet, source, sitelinks.

What I was doing is basically applying .results--ads selector before additional selector for title, link, snippet, source, and sitelinks to get most accurate selector.

A CSS selectors reference.

Code

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path/to/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://duckduckgo.com/?q=minecraft&kl=us-en&ia=web')

for result in driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('.results--ads .result__body.links_main.links_deep'):
    title = result.find_element_by_css_selector('.js-result-title-link').text
    link = result.find_element_by_css_selector('.js-result-title-link').get_attribute('href')
    source = result.find_element_by_css_selector('.js-result-extras-url').text
    snippet = result.find_element_by_css_selector('.js-result-snippet > a').text
    print(f'{title}\n{source}\n{snippet}\n{link}\n')

for sitelink in driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('.js-sitelinks-title'):
    sitelink_title = sitelink.text
    sitelink_url = sitelink.get_attribute('href')
    print(f'{sitelink_title}\n{sitelink_url}\n')

driver.quit()
