What problem does it solve? Agents often misuse web search APIs by writing vague queries, picking the wrong search depth, or scraping pages inefficiently, which wastes credits and returns poor results. This Skill teaches the agent how to reason about Linkup search and fetch calls before making them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Query Construction Framework: A three-step reasoning process (inputs, data location, sequential chaining) that determines the right query style and depth before any call. - Depth and Output Selection: Clear rules for choosing between fast, standard, and deep depths, and between searchResults, sourcedAnswer, and structured output types, with cost guidance per tier. - Fetch Endpoint and Advanced Techniques: Instructions for using /fetch on known URLs with renderJs, LinkedIn extraction patterns, date and domain filtering, and multi-query coverage strategies. - Use Case: An agent asked to research a company's pricing uses the Skill to decide on a deep search, writes an instruction-style query to find and scrape the pricing page, and extracts plan names, prices, and features. ## Quick Start Use the linkup-search skill to find Datadog's current pricing page, scrape it, and extract plan names, prices, and included features.
