Am I understanding correctly that the instant answers (actual content) is not on GitHub, and is only available on a web page semi-locked down from scraping attempts by JavaScript paging?
If this is not correct, anyone have a link to the exact repo I should be looking at? The link in TFA only goes to the main account page, not any specific repo, and the repo names are not clear enough to tell if they have what I'm looking for.

- tagawa 9y agoThe Instant Answers are all on GitHub but in four separate repos which, I agree, can be confusing. * https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies - "Goodies" which are generally static answers such as cheat sheets, colour picker or unit conversions. * https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice - "Spice" for using public APIs, e.g. weather, transport status or currency conversions. * https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead and https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-longtail https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-longtail - "Fathead" and "Longtail" are less common and are for text lookups, e.g. of programming docs.
