duckduckgo disambiguation API: The Daily REST library entry for Excel and GAScript

In various posts such as this one, I’ve covered new entries to the REST library but it’s been kind of haphazard. Since I’m adding these regularly I figured I’d make a quick post like this for every new one.

Today’s API is  “duckduckgo disambiguation”  – a straightforward single query API, populating a spreadsheet with this result for an example query, ‘Santa’

Here’s the Excel code (included in cDataSet.xlsm downloadable from the ramblings site)

Public Sub testDuckDuckGo()
    generalQuery "duckduckgo", "duckduckgo", _
        InputBox("Enter your duckduckgo query")
End Sub

and the GAS version (included in a Google Spreadsheet) using the mcpher GAS library

function testDuckDuckGo() {
    mcpher.generalQuery ("duckduckgo", "duckduckgo", 
        mcpher.InputBox("Enter your duckduckgo query"));
}

The rest library is itself implemented as REST API and can be queried like this.
