I also assume that Kagi uses some shady residential IPs proxies and similar tricks to scrap Google while DDG has access to the Bing API.

  You can buy access to the Google Search API, which is what I assume Kagi does. Building your product on being able to circumvent some Google restrictions seems like a bad business move, if you can buy the same service for a reasonable price.

      https://developers.google.com/custom-search https://developers.google.com/custom-search It's been available for ages. We used it to power the company internal search for a large enterprise I worked at 17 or 18 years ago.

        Yes this isn’t an API to make a generic search engine.
