Comprehensive list of all available !bangs on DuckDuckGo.com

Question

Recently I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo and so far I am very pleased with the experience. "The Internet" tells me that one of DuckDuckGo's best features is the possibility to directly search on specific pages using bangs (defined prefixes). E.g. search for "!so [duck-duck-go]" on DuckDuckGo to get duck-duck-go tagged questions on Stackoverflow.

I was searching for a comprehensive list of all available bangs, but the only thing I found was the official bang-page wich offers a search box and categorized lists, but no complete list of all 7,447* bangs.

Is there a possibility to find all bangs without clicking through all the categories on the bang-page?

Answer 1

Apparently you can turn off JavaScript or just visit https://duckduckgo.com/bang_lite.html

Kudos to x.15a2 from the DuckDuckGo-Forums!

Answer 2

There is an undocumented JavaScript file that contains all Bangs with their categories and URLs: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.v261.js (updated September 25, 2023)

My best guess as to what the object keys hold:

• r: Ranking
• t: Tag (Bang)
• u: URL
• sc: Sub category
• d: Domain
• s: Summary
• c: Main category

Here is an example entry of the !so bang:

[
    {
        "c": "Tech",
        "d": "stackoverflow.com",
        "r": 665,
        "s": "Stack Overflow",
        "sc": "Programming",
        "t": "so",
        "u": "http://stackoverflow.com/search?q={{{s}}}"
    }
    // ..
]
