README
DuckSharp
This is a simple but yet powerful web API wrapper of the DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API.
Getting Started
Requirements
DuckSharp targets .NET Standard 1.1 - so your project must be compatible with it. See Microsoft's guide on .NET Standard.
Installation
DuckSharp can be installed from NuGet. You can install it from Visual Studio's userinterface, or from the package manager console:
PM> Install-Package TheMulti0.DuckSharp
Alternatively, you can use the .NET Core CLI:
> dotnet add package TheMulti0.DuckSharp
Basic Usage
The simplest way to get an instant answer from DuckDuckGo using DuckSharp is the following (the following examples do not implement the IDisposable interface of the client, please wrap the client with a using statement when using it):
await new DuckSharpClient().GetInstantAnswerAsync("Apple");
You can also get !bang redirect urls:
await new DuckSharpClient().GetBangRedirectAsync("!youtube Kanye West - Fade");
