<p id="module-searx.engines.qwant">This engine uses the Qwant API (<a class="reference external" href="https://api.qwant.com/v3">https://api.qwant.com/v3</a>) to implement Qwant
-Web, -News, -Images and -Videos. The API is undocumented but can be reverse
engineered by reading the network log of <a class="reference external" href="https://www.qwant.com/">https://www.qwant.com/</a> queries.</p>
<p>For Qwants <em>web-search</em> two alternatives are implemented:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">web</span></code>: uses the <a class="reference internal" href="#searx.engines.qwant.api_url" title="searx.engines.qwant.api_url"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">api_url</span></code></a> which returns a JSON structure</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">web-lite</span></code>: uses the <a class="reference internal" href="#searx.engines.qwant.web_lite_url" title="searx.engines.qwant.web_lite_url"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">web_lite_url</span></code></a> which returns a HTML page</p></li>

<section id="configuration">
