Frequently asked questions

Why a list of cities?

The API searches around a map center; each city sets that center.

Where does the data come from?

From DuckDuckGo Maps, which is built on Apple Maps data.

Is DuckDuckGo Places Search free?

It needs a SandBase account. This API is in the SandBase daily free quota (100 calls per organization per day, shared, reset at 00:00 UTC); after that each run costs about $0.0001 on your SandBase account.

Can I call this API directly?

Yes. This page calls duckduckgo/maps on SandBase. Call POST /v1/api/duckduckgo/maps with your SandBase API key; the request example is above.

Are my searches stored?

No. The Lab forwards this one request to SandBase and shows the answer; it keeps neither the input nor the result on the server.
