Lemmy's search as JSON (fapsi.be)

Is it possible to get Lemmy's search result in JSON format? E.g., to include the search in search engines like searx. That would be really awesome.

Perfect. Now I take a look at searx settings and how I can integrate it.

Big searx supporter here, absolutely agree

hmm 🤔 … Normally, the following in the settings.yml should do the trick:

  - name : lemmy
    engine : json_engine
    search_url : https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/search?q={query}&page={pageno}
    results_query : posts
    url_query : post/ap_id
    title_query : post/name
    content_query : post/body
    categories : social media
    shortcut : le
    paging : True
    disabled : False

But my searx instance doesn't even seem to fetch the JSON.
