Search

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/search.py "here is your query"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/search.py "here is your query" -n 10
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/search.py "here is your query" --start_time "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/search.py "here is your query" --end_time "2026-01-31T23:59:59Z"

Options

• -n, --count <count>: Optional. Number of results (min: 1, max: 20, if not provided, default to 5)
• --start_time <time>: Optional. Start time for filtering results (ISO 8601 format, e.g., "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z")
• --end_time <time>: Optional. End time for filtering results (ISO 8601 format, e.g., "2026-01-31T23:59:59Z"). If start_time and end_time are both provided, end_time must be greater than start_time

Notes

• Needs OCTEN_API_KEY in the environment variables, get it from https://octen.ai, then set it like this: export OCTEN_API_KEY=your-api-key
• Use --start_time and --end_time if you want to filter results by time published. For example, to search for news published in January 2026, you can use --start_time "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z" --end_time "2026-01-31T23:59:59Z".

Security

• The OCTEN_API_KEY environment variable is only sent to the official Octen API endpoint: https://api.octen.ai/search
• No environment variables are sent to any other endpoints or external services
• The API endpoint is hardcoded and whitelisted in the code and cannot be modified at runtime
• The skill uses standard HTTP header authentication (X-Api-Key) which is the recommended practice for API authentication
• All network requests are made over HTTPS to ensure encrypted transmission of the API key
