Detailed Description

Within this module we implement a *demo online engine*.  Do not look to
close to the implementation, its just a simple example which queries `The Art
Institute of Chicago <https://www.artic.edu>`_

To get in use of this *demo* engine add the following entry to your engines
list in ``settings.yml``:

.. code:: yaml

  - name: my online engine
    engine: demo_online
    shortcut: demo
    disabled: false

Function Documentation

◆ init()

None searx.engines.demo_online.init ( dict[str, t.Any] engine_settings )

Initialization of the (online) engine.  If no initialization is needed, drop
this init function.

Definition at line 54 of file demo_online.py.

def init(engine_settings: dict[str, t.Any]) -> None:
    """Initialization of the (online) engine.  If no initialization is needed, drop
    this init function."""
    global _my_online_engine  # pylint: disable=global-statement
    _my_online_engine = engine_settings.get("name")
 
 

◆ request()

None searx.engines.demo_online.request	(	str	query,
		dict[str, t.Any]	params )

Build up the ``params`` for the online request.  In this example we build a
URL to fetch images from `artic.edu <https://artic.edu>`__

Definition at line 61 of file demo_online.py.

def request(query: str, params: dict[str, t.Any]) -> None:
    """Build up the ``params`` for the online request.  In this example we build a
    URL to fetch images from `artic.edu <https://artic.edu>`__

            "limit": page_size,
        }
    )
    params["url"] = search_api + args
 
 

◆ response()

EngineResults searx.engines.demo_online.response ( "SXNG_Response" resp )

Parse out the result items from the response.  In this example we parse the
response from `api.artic.edu <https://artic.edu>`__ and filter out all
images.

Definition at line 77 of file demo_online.py.

def response(resp: "SXNG_Response") -> EngineResults:

    response from `api.artic.edu <https://artic.edu>`__ and filter out all
    images.
