Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/tavily-apiWhat This Skill Does
The tavily skill enables your OpenClaw agent to tap into the powerful Tavily AI web search engine. It acts as a secure, managed gateway, allowing your agent to perform real-time internet searches, extract clean text from URLs, crawl websites to map their structure, and perform advanced, multi-step research tasks with citations. By handling authentication through the Maton gateway, the skill allows you to integrate web-based intelligence into your local workflow without manually managing API tokens for every single interaction.
Installation
To install this skill, use the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/tavily-api. Once installed, ensure you have your Maton API key configured as an environment variable. Navigate to https://ctrl.maton.ai to manage your connections. Create a new Tavily connection to link your own API key to the gateway. Once the connection status is 'ACTIVE', your agent will be able to perform requests by passing the appropriate bearer token provided by your session.

Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Be aware that high-frequency calls to the Tavily API are subject to the limits of your specific Tavily plan.
- Content Quality: When extracting content, prioritize URLs that are friendly to scrapers. Heavily JavaScript-rendered pages might occasionally return incomplete data.
- Network Dependency: This skill requires active network access. Ensure your environment has outgoing access to
gateway.maton.aiandapi.tavily.com. - Authentication: Always keep your
MATON_API_KEYsecure and never hardcode it into scripts shared publicly.
