The swiss-phone-directory skill integrates the search.ch API directly into your OpenClaw agent, enabling real-time lookups for businesses, individuals, and contact details across Switzerland. By acting as a bridge to one of the most reliable Swiss directory services, the agent can retrieve addresses, telephone numbers, websites, and business categories with high precision. It features a versatile search engine that supports both standard entity searches and reverse phone number lookups, formatting all contact information into accessible, clickable Markdown links for seamless mobile interaction.
Installation
To install this skill, use the OpenClaw package manager:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/xenofex7/swiss-phone-directory
After installation, you must obtain a free API key from search.ch. Once you receive your credentials via email, set the environment variable in your terminal session to ensure the agent can authenticate requests:
export SEARCHCH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Use Cases

- Spam Filtering & Identification: Perform reverse lookups on unknown incoming calls to identify if the caller is a registered business or private individual.

Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Note that API usage is subject to rate limits dictated by your specific search.ch key tier. Ensure your key is valid to avoid service interruptions.
- Data Privacy: Be mindful of personal data privacy laws (GDPR/FADP) when searching for individuals. Only use this for legitimate personal or business purposes.
- Precision: When searching for individuals, providing a specific location (ZIP or city) significantly improves the accuracy of the result set.
- Language Settings: You can specify the output language using the
--langflag (de, fr, it, en) to suit your communication preferences.
