Tavily Search

Use the bundled script to search the web with Tavily.

Requirements

  • Provide API key via either:
    • environment variable: 
      TAVILY_API_KEY
      , or
    • ~/.openclaw/.env
      line: 
      TAVILY_API_KEY=...

Commands

Run from the OpenClaw workspace:
bash
# raw JSON (default)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.py --query "..." --max-results 5

# include short answer (if available)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.py --query "..." --max-results 5 --include-answer

# stable schema (closer to web_search): {query, results:[{title,url,snippet}], answer?}
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.py --query "..." --max-results 5 --format brave

# human-readable Markdown list
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.py --query "..." --max-results 5 --format md

Output

raw (default)

  • JSON: 
    query
    , optional 
    answer
    , 
    results: [{title,url,content}]

brave

  • JSON: 
    query
    , optional 
    answer
    , 
    results: [{title,url,snippet}]

md

Notes

  • Keep 
    max-results
    small by default (3–5) to reduce token/reading load.
  • Prefer returning URLs + snippets; fetch full pages only when needed.
