# DuckDuckGo Wrapper for Node.js

A very simple wrapper for the DuckDuckGo API (http://duckduckgo.com/api.html). Just simplifies an edge case error check and presents a simple way to set & reuse options.

Usage: 

    var ddg = require('ddg-api');
    var client = new ddg.SearchClient({useSSL: true});
    client.search("Apple Inc.", function(error, response, data) {

      if (!error && response.statusCode == 200)
      {
        console.log(data.Abstract);
      } else {
        console.log("ERROR! " + error + "/" + response.statusCode);
      }

    });
