How to use it

Example

import 'package:qwant_api/qwant_api.dart';

void main() async {
    // Instantiate the api
    var qwantApit = QwantApi();
    // Then perform an async search
    var result1 = await qwantApit.searchWeb('test');
    var result2 = await qwantApit.searchWeb('test', count: 2, language: Language.ENGISH);
}

It will return a value of type QWSearchResult<T extends QWResult> where QWResult could be one of the following types depending on the search:

Search Type	Result's type
WEB	QWWebResult
NEWS	QWNewsResult
IMAGES	QWImageResult
VIDEOS	QWVideoResult
SOCIAL	QWSocialResult

Available options for each search

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
query	Yes	String	Words to search
count	No	int	Number of items to search (currently it seems to be limited to 50 by Qwant's API)
offset	No	int	Index of the first items to fetch (for pagination)
language	No	Language	Language for the search

Important notes

According to NLDev/qwant-api, there are some limitations. After some queries a captcha should be filled.

I didn't reach this limit so no helper has been provided to catch this behavior yet.
