FAQPage Schema
How do I perform headless web search and content extraction via API?

You need a valid BRAVE_API_KEY to authenticate requests. The Skill uses this key to access the Brave Search API for querying results and running content extraction scripts, ensuring secure and authorized headless web search operations.

Can I extract readable summaries from article pages without a browser?

Yes, lightweight content extraction yields readable summaries from article pages without leaving the chat. It uses a dedicated content script to fetch and process readable text directly from the URLs returned by the search results.

What is the best way to gather search results and surface key content for a briefing?

The best way to gather search results for a briefing is to run a query through the Brave Search API and optionally fetch content from the top results. This provides fast web discovery and surfaces key text from pages headlessly.

Does automated web search via API require any specific dependencies?

Automated web search via API requires a BRAVE_API_KEY environment variable for authentication. The Skill operates using Node scripts to execute the search and content extraction operations without needing external browser dependencies.

Why does my headless web search return results but no extracted content?

Headless web search returns results but no extracted content if the optional content extraction script is not invoked or fails to parse the target page. The content script must be explicitly run on the result URLs to fetch readable text.
