Are you building an app which requires users to input a DuckDuckGo email API Key? DDG Email API Key Grabber makes it easier for you to get the key!
In simple terms:
Just redirect users to: https://ddgemail-token.vercel.app?callback=CALLBACK_URL&app_name=APP_NAME
Here, users will be prompted to follow the correct steps to get their API key, which will then be passed on to you.
Here is an example that you can try out:
The callback URL should be a valid URL where the site can input the key. Just put __API_KEY__ where you want the API key to be inserted. For example:
https://example.com/import_key=__API_KEY__ which is, when encoded: https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimport_key%3D__API_KEY__
It is important that you encode the callback URL. A site like URL Encode Online should do the trick. URL encoding is necessary to ensure that any parameters in the callback URL will not be misinterpreted as parameters of the main URL, which could cause errors
If the URL is invalid, an error message will be displayed and both the app name and callback will be removed from the parameters.
The app name is optional, however if specified, when the user is required to get the key the button will display Continue to: *App Name* instead of Get Key -->. It will also be displayed on the third party app warning popup instead of an unnamed app.
Also: make sure if the app name has spaces these are replaced with %20, for example My%20App
A user's API key allows you to generate private duck addresses on their behalf.
Send a POST request to https://quack.duckduckgo.com/api/email/addresses
With these headers:
Authorization: Bearer {api_key},
Content-Type: application/json
NOTE: This API is not officially supported by DuckDuckGo for third-party applications.
No. Unless they create a new account, of course.
