Getting Gugal to work with SearXNG [SOLVED]
Getting Gugal to work with SearXNG [SOLVED]
I'm running my own SearXNG instance and trying to configure Gugal to work with it: https://gitlab.com/narektor/gugal
It says my instance needs to have API access enabled but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. Anyone done this before or know how to do it?
edit: SOLVED - see comment below
Figured it out! Nowhere is this documented in Gugal or SearXNG docs, but the way to do it is to add the
jsonformat to yoursearchconfig like so:search: formats: - html - jsonThis does make sense in hindsight as you are essentially enabling requests over the a JSON API however it is odd that this isn't documented anywhere. Also, note that if your instance is publicly exposed this makes it easy for bots to spam/scrape it.
Cool, thanks for sharing the solution!
For sure!
