DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is a search engine built around not tracking searches, and it returns local search results, including business information, alongside its standard web results.
DuckDuckGo returns local search results alongside its standard web results, and correcting what appears there usually means fixing the same name, address, and hours across whichever directories and maps DuckDuckGo's local results actually draw from. DuckDuckGo has no business page of its own to create or claim. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. It keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are part of your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across the network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location once and have it publish to every directory, map, and aggregator your plan covers.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours across that entire set in a single call.
- Track publishing status and read back the live listing URL for each citation that does go live.
What Listings API controls for DuckDuckGo
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources DuckDuckGo draws local business information from. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

DuckDuckGo + Listings API
Does DuckDuckGo show local business listings?
Yes. DuckDuckGo returns local search results alongside its standard web results, and it populates its business data from Apple Maps. Keeping your Apple Maps listing updated through Listings API keeps those results accurate.
Can Listings API publish a business listing directly to DuckDuckGo?
No. DuckDuckGo has no business account, dashboard, or claimable page of its own. DuckDuckGo populates its business data from Apple Maps, so keeping your Apple Maps listing updated through Listings API keeps DuckDuckGo updated.
How do I keep a business's details consistent across that citation network?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That call publishes the record across every directory and map your plan reaches, including Apple Maps, which DuckDuckGo populates its local results from.
How do I update those details afterward?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call pushes the new name, address, phone, website, or hours across your citation network at once, so the data behind a DuckDuckGo local result, or any other citation, stays correct without a separate submission anywhere.
Are posts or review management available for DuckDuckGo through the API?
No. DuckDuckGo's local result card is rendered from underlying map and directory data rather than a page with its own comment or review section. Posts and review replies are supported on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook, not DuckDuckGo.
Which plan covers DuckDuckGo in the citation network?
DuckDuckGo sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network. DuckDuckGo populates its business data from Apple Maps, so a location created under Enterprise keeps Apple Maps updated and DuckDuckGo follows. Listings API is an independent service that is not affiliated with DuckDuckGo.
How does a listing reach DuckDuckGo?
DuckDuckGo populates its data from Apple Maps. Keep your data updated on Apple Maps and your DuckDuckGo listing stays updated. Read the per publisher status with GET /api/v4/locations/{locationId}/listings/premium.
Which countries does DuckDuckGo support?
DuckDuckGo accepts listings in 15 countries: Albania, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Georgia, Hong Kong, Italy, Kenya, Latvia, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United States, Vietnam. Call GET /api/v4/plan-sites to read country coverage for every publisher on your plan as ISO codes.
