SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires z-ai-web-dev-sdk, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Applications often need to fetch current information from the web to power decision-making, research, and content discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time web searching: query the open web and retrieve fresh results.
  • Structured results: each item includes url, name, snippet, host_name, rank, date, and favicon for easy consumption by downstream apps.
  • Use cases: build search features, monitor topics, conduct rapid research, and aggregate news from multiple sources.

Quick Start

Run a simple search using the backend SDK or CLI. For example, search for "artificial intelligence" using the z-ai-web-dev-sdk backend or the CLI command: z-ai function -n web_search -a '{"query":"artificial intelligence"}'. See {project_path}/skills/web-search/scripts/web_search.ts for a quick in-repo example.

What specific fields are included in the structured web search results?▼

The structured web search results output an array of SearchFunctionResultItem objects containing the url, name, snippet, host_name, rank, date, and favicon fields to support downstream application features.

Does the web search SDK require any specific dependencies to work?▼

Yes, implementing live web search requires the z-ai-web-dev-sdk installed on your backend to handle the search queries and return the structured results for your application.

What are the best use cases for integrating live web search into an application?▼
