webserp
Web search across 7 engines in parallel with browser impersonation. Use when the agent needs current information from the web — news, documentation, recent events, or anything beyond training data. Returns structured JSON (SearXNG-compatible) with title, URL, and content. Uses curl_cffi to mimic real browser fingerprints so requests don't get blocked. Install with `pip install webserp`. No API keys needed.
Why use this skill?
Integrate webserp into OpenClaw to perform lightning-fast, parallel web searches across seven engines using advanced browser fingerprinting technology.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/paperboardofficial/webserpWhat This Skill Does
The webserp skill is a powerful metasearch engine tool designed for the OpenClaw AI agent. It aggregates search results from seven major search engines—Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Yahoo, Mojeek, Startpage, and Presearch—performing queries in parallel to ensure rapid retrieval. By leveraging curl_cffi, the tool mimics actual browser fingerprints, allowing it to bypass standard bot detection mechanisms that often block simple HTTP requests. It returns data in a clean, standardized JSON format compatible with SearXNG, making it an ideal choice for programmatic access to real-time information.
Installation
Installation is straightforward via the OpenClaw package manager or standard pip. To add this skill to your agent, run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/paperboardofficial/webserp or install the package directly with pip install webserp. No API keys or external configurations are required to begin searching, making it an immediate plug-and-play solution.
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable when your agent needs information that is not available in its pre-trained model data. Use webserp when performing market research, tracking live stock prices or crypto news, verifying technical documentation for the latest library versions, or synthesizing diverse opinions on a trending topic. It is particularly effective for developers needing quick access to StackOverflow, GitHub repositories, or official API documentation that updates frequently.
Example Prompts
- "What are the latest updates to the React framework released this week?"
- "Search for the current documentation and best practices for implementing custom tools in OpenClaw."
- "Find the most recent news regarding the progress of renewable energy adoption in the European Union."
Tips & Limitations
To optimize performance, use the --max-results flag to avoid overwhelming your processing context with excessive links. If you notice specific engines providing higher quality results for your domain, use the --engines flag to narrow the search, which also decreases response latency. Be aware that because this tool performs network requests, it is subject to the target engines' rate limits. While curl_cffi helps hide the agent's identity, excessive queries in a short timeframe may still trigger IP-based rate limiting or CAPTCHAs. Always use --verbose during development to debug which engines are returning data.
