You can get a Google Sheet in JSON format just by adding alt=json to the URL. What do you do differently?

What add-on are you using to do that? I've been playing around using Lovely Table and Awesome Table for this purpose but not really sure which one I ultimately want.
A lot of the emoji lists I've come across are missing recent ones or don't have all the skin colors.
There seems to be a lot of competition of other people doing this. What is special about yours?

The problem with hosting your own instance of searx is that you will most likely be one of the only users and since the underlying search engine (Google, etc) knows where the traffic came from (your instance) they can pin it on you so you might as well just use Google directly. Also, I keep getting captcha errors when I try to use searx.

They're still beholden by their VC's, who most likely forced them to purge a lot of their !bangs not too long ago.
