zhipu-search
Use Zhipu (智谱) web search API for searching the internet. Use when user asks for web search, latest news, or needs current information.
Why use this skill?
Integrate Zhipu web search into your OpenClaw agent to access real-time internet data, latest news, and current information securely.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/honestqiao/zhipu-searchWhat This Skill Does
The zhipu-search skill provides a powerful interface for the OpenClaw agent to query the internet using Zhipu's (智谱) high-performance web search API. By integrating this skill, the agent gains the ability to retrieve up-to-date information, news, and technical data that lies beyond its core training set. It works by routing search queries through the official BigModel API, ensuring that results are timely, relevant, and properly processed via secure HTTPS endpoints.
Installation
To install this skill, use the ClawHub command line interface. First, ensure you have an active account at https://www.bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys to generate your unique API key. Once obtained, run: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/honestqiao/zhipu-search. After installation, set the required environment variable in your current terminal session: export ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key". Note that for security, you should avoid saving this key in persistent shell configuration files like .bashrc or .zshrc to prevent unauthorized access.
Use Cases
This skill is essential when the user requires information that changes frequently or is not part of the static knowledge base. Typical scenarios include looking up the latest stock market trends, checking current weather patterns, fetching recent news headlines, or finding documentation for newly released software libraries. It is the primary tool for "real-time" awareness within the agent.
Example Prompts
- "Search for the latest research papers on transformer architecture published in 2024."
- "What are the current top headlines regarding global artificial intelligence regulations?"
- "Look up the documentation for the latest version of the Python requests library."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure optimal usage, keep your queries concise; the skill is optimized for queries under 500 characters. Always prioritize security by passing the API key as a temporary environment variable rather than hardcoding it into your scripts. Be aware that because the key is passed via the shell, it may be visible in process monitoring tools like 'ps aux' on multi-user systems. Consequently, this skill is best utilized in trusted or isolated environments. If you encounter errors, the agent is configured to provide generic feedback to prevent leaking sensitive system paths or internal configuration details.
