DuckDuck GO Image Search error in the first notebook of the course

[Sgaur316]

The Duck Duck Go Image search is not working anymore in the Chapter 1 of this course notebook.

I got the same issue. I think DDGS has blocked the Kaggle IP so may need to use a different search API? Or download the Jupyter notebook and run locally?

I read the comments on the Kaggle page and some of the others found solutions:

!pip install -qq fastai ddgs --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver 
from ddgs import DDGS

Change Accelerator to "GPU T4 x2" otherwise you might get other errors :)
