Failed to get the VQD for query "X"

[theodosc]

Since Friday 10/02/2023 the library has stopped working, for any query submitted. Below you can find an example of the error stack.

Error: Failed to get the VQD for query "Hello world".
at getVQD (...\node_modules\duck-duck-scrape\lib\util.js:53:15)
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
at async search (...\node_modules\duck-duck-scrape\lib\search\search.js:40:15)

Maybe the structure of the page is changed or the user-agent is blocked? Are you aware of this issue and willing to proceed with any updates?
Thanks!

DDG changed the format of the VQD so the package wasn't able to detect it. This is fixed in v2.2.2.

I am facing this issue again today in v2.2.3. Should I open a new issue?

[Snazzah]

v2.2.4 should work now

Hi @Snazzah , it had been working until today. Today I'm again hitting: Failed to get the VQD for query "X" issue
Update [20 May 2023]: Started working again.
