# SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later """Brave supports the categories listed in :py:obj:`brave_category` (General, news, videos, images). The support of :py:obj:`paging` and :py:obj:`time range ` is limited (see remarks). Configured ``brave`` engines: .. code:: yaml - name: brave engine: brave ... brave_category: search time_range_support: true paging: true - name: brave.images engine: brave ... brave_category: images - name: brave.videos engine: brave ... brave_category: videos - name: brave.news engine: brave ... brave_category: news - name: brave.goggles time_range_support: true paging: true ... brave_category: goggles .. _brave regions: Brave regions ============= Brave uses two-digit tags for the regions like ``ca`` while SearXNG deals with locales. To get a mapping, all *officiat de-facto* languages of the Brave region are mapped to regions in SearXNG (see :py:obj:`babel `): .. code:: python "regions": { .. "en-CA": "ca", "fr-CA": "ca", .. } .. note:: The language (aka region) support of Brave's index is limited to very basic languages. The search results for languages like Chinese or Arabic are of low quality. .. _brave googles: Brave Goggles ============= .. _list of Goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles/discover .. _Goggles Whitepaper: https://brave.com/static-assets/files/goggles.pdf .. _Goggles Quickstart: https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart Goggles allow you to choose, alter, or extend the ranking of Brave Search results (`Goggles Whitepaper`_). Goggles are openly developed by the community of Brave Search users. Select from the `list of Goggles`_ people have published, or create your own (`Goggles Quickstart`_). .. _brave languages: Brave languages =============== Brave's language support is limited to the UI (menus, area local notations, etc). Brave's index only seems to support a locale, but it does not seem to support any languages in its index. The choice of available languages is very small (and its not clear to me where the difference in UI is when switching from en-us to en-ca or en-gb). In the :py:obj:`EngineTraits object ` the UI languages are stored in a custom field named ``ui_lang``: .. code:: python "custom": { "ui_lang": { "ca": "ca", "de-DE": "de-de", "en-CA": "en-ca", "en-GB": "en-gb", "en-US": "en-us", "es": "es", "fr-CA": "fr-ca", "fr-FR": "fr-fr", "ja-JP": "ja-jp", "pt-BR": "pt-br", "sq-AL": "sq-al" } }, Implementations =============== """ import json import typing as t from collections.abc import Callable from urllib.parse import urlencode from dateutil import parser from searx import locales, logger from searx.enginelib.traits import EngineTraits from searx.exceptions import SearxEngineResponseException from searx.result_types import EngineResults, MainResult, Video from searx.result_types.image import Image from searx.utils import html_to_text, js_obj_str_to_json_str, js_obj_str_to_python if t.TYPE_CHECKING: from searx.extended_types import SXNG_Response about = { "website": "https://search.brave.com/", "wikidata_id": "Q22906900", "official_api_documentation": None, "use_official_api": False, "require_api_key": False, "results": "HTML", } base_url = "https://search.brave.com/" categories = [] enable_http3 = True brave_category: t.Literal["search", "videos", "images", "news", "goggles"] = "search" """Brave supports common web-search, videos, images, news, and goggles search. - ``search``: Common WEB search - ``videos``: search for videos - ``images``: search for images - ``news``: search for news - ``goggles``: Common WEB search with custom rules, requires a :py:obj:`Goggles` URL.
