web-search

Yes, the web search function supports CLI usage for content discovery by executing z-ai function --name web_search with a JSON arguments payload, returning structured search results directly to your terminal for immediate integration.

You can filter web search results by passing the num parameter to limit the number of returned items and the recency_days parameter to restrict results to a specific recent timeframe, ensuring the structured data fits your application's specific needs.

Yes, the web search function requires the z-ai-web-dev-sdk dependency to be installed and configured in your environment to successfully execute queries and retrieve structured data for your backend services.

The best way to integrate real-time web search is by creating a ZAI instance using const zai = await ZAI.create(), then invoking the web_search function with your query parameters to receive structured JSON objects ready for application consumption.

Structured web search results include specific data fields such as url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon for each item, providing comprehensive metadata for content discovery and market monitoring workflows.
