I want to take on this feature

constraintAutomaton commented 2 years ago

The engine doesn't have an API and the results from queries are mostly html. What does searx habitually do in those cases? Can a headless browser be used to do some web scraping?

unixfox commented 2 years ago

Without an API searx parse the HTML page for the results.

but the source page call a javascript file to provide the results.
