DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The `DDG-API <https://duckduckgo.com/api>`__ is no longer documented but from
reverse engineering we can see that some services (e.g. instant answers) still
in use from the DDG search engine.
As far we can say the *instant answers* API does not support languages, or at
least we could not find out how language support should work. It seems that
most of the features are based on English terms.
