This library implements DuckDuckGo's own verification steps [outlined here](https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/duckduckbot/).

## Install

`npm install --save is-duckduck`

## Example

```javascript

const isDuckDuck = require('is-duckduck')

let ip = '72.94.249.34'

isDuckDuck(ip).then((outcome) => {

  if (outcome) {

    // it's duckduck.

  }

}).catch(console.error)

```

### Example with express

```javascript

app.enable('trust proxy')

app.use((req, res, next) => {

  let ip = req.ip || req.connection.remoteAddress

  isDuckDuck(ip).then(outcome => {

    if (outcome) {

      res.status(404).text('Nothing to scan') // block duckduck crawler

    } else {

      next() // it's a user

    }

  })

})

```
