🟡get(q, region, safe_search, time, page)
DuckDuckGo web search: the organic results (url, title, plain and HTML snippet, result types, host, sublinks, date, site name, rating) and the other blocks of the same answer: ads, related searches, the knowledge panel, the AI answer when DuckDuckGo gives it inline, and the news, image and video strips. Blocks DuckDuckGo did not send are empty lists or null. Billing per call: 1 Credits.

}🟡get_places(q, latitude, longitude)
DuckDuckGo's local results (its Places module and Maps tab): businesses and places with category, address, coordinates, phone, website, rating, review count, price level, opening hours, open now, amenities, photos, menu and sample reviews (rating, text, date). DuckDuckGo takes the listings from Tripadvisor or Yelp depending on the area; `source` names it. Name the place in the query ("coffee in berlin germany") or pass latitude and longitude; with neither, DuckDuckGo searches around the address the request leaves from, and a place name several countries share can resolve to the one nearest that address, so add the country. Billing per call: 1 Credits.
