FAQPage Schema
How do I perform web search and extract content with citations for research?

Web search and content extraction with citations is performed by querying relevant pages, pulling LLM-optimized text, and synthesizing sources. The tavily-cli skill automates this retrieval and mapping process to provide referenced answers.

What's the best way to extract web page text optimized for LLM consumption?

To extract web page text optimized for LLM consumption, provide a specific URL to the content extraction feature. It retrieves the page text in a structured format designed for downstream agent workflows and JSON output.

Do I need an API key to crawl documentation sections and map URLs?

Crawling documentation sections and mapping URLs requires an authenticated Tavily API key. You must also install the Tavily CLI tool before executing web crawling or subpage discovery tasks at scale.

How does deep multi-source synthesis handle complex research questions?

Deep multi-source synthesis handles complex research questions by discovering relevant pages and extracting content from multiple URLs. It aggregates and synthesizes the retrieved information to generate answers with reliable citations.

Can I output web crawling results as JSON for downstream agent workflows?

Web crawling and search results can be output as JSON or files for downstream agent workflows. This LLM-optimized format ensures that extracted content and discovered URLs integrate smoothly into automated pipelines.

What are the limitations of using web search for URL discovery and content extraction?

Limitations of web search for URL discovery include relying on external page structures for content extraction accuracy. Deep research and crawling subpages at scale also depend on the authenticated Tavily API key limits.
