Installation

pip install googer

Quick Start

from googer import Googer

# Search (default: auto mode — automatic engine selection with fallback)
results = Googer().search("python programming")
for r in results:
    print(r.title, r.href)

Engine Selection

from googer import Googer

# Use a specific engine
g = Googer(engine="brave")
results = g.search("rust language")

# Multi-engine — query multiple engines concurrently and merge results
g = Googer(engine="multi")
results = g.search("machine learning")

# Override engine per method call
g = Googer(engine="duckduckgo")
results = g.search("AI news", engine="naver")  # uses Naver for this call only

Engine Modes

Mode	Description
auto	Default. Tries engines in fallback order, uses the first that succeeds
multi	Queries multiple engines concurrently, merges and deduplicates results
duckduckgo, brave, ...	Uses only the specified engine

Search Types

from googer import Googer

g = Googer()

# Text search
results = g.search("python", region="ko-kr", max_results=20)

# Image search
images = g.images("cute cats", size="large", color="color")
for img in images:
    print(img.title, img.image)

# News search (last 24 hours)
news = g.news("AI", timelimit="d")
for n in news:
    print(n.title, n.source, n.date)

# Video search (short videos only)
videos = g.videos("python tutorial", duration="short")

# Autocomplete suggestions
suggestions = g.suggest("python")

# Instant answer
answer = g.answers("python release date")

Advanced Queries

from googer import Googer, Query

q = (
    Query("machine learning")
    .exact("neural network")
    .site("arxiv.org")
    .filetype("pdf")
    .exclude("tutorial")
)

results = Googer().search(q, max_results=20)

Proxy & Context Manager

from googer import Googer

# With proxy (also supports GOOGER_PROXY env var)
with Googer(proxy="socks5://127.0.0.1:9150") as g:

    engine="auto",          # auto | multi | duckduckgo | brave | google | ecosia | yahoo | aol | naver
    proxy=None,             # Proxy URL (http/https/socks5)
    timeout=10,             # Request timeout in seconds
    max_retries=3,          # Number of retries
    cache_ttl=300,          # Cache TTL in seconds (0 to disable)
    backend="http",         # http | browser
    headless=True,          # Headless mode when using browser backend
    verify=True,            # SSL certificate verification
)
