Proxy Web Search
Web search via the OpenClaw Manager Web Search Proxy. The Manager handles API key injection from encrypted storage automatically — no manual key configuration needed.
The proxy URL is configured via the WEB_SEARCH_PROXY_URL environment variable (required). If not set, the skill will not be available.
Defaults to using the search_pro_quark engine with 25 results.
Quick Start
Basic cURL Usage
curl --request POST \
--url "${WEB_SEARCH_PROXY_URL}/" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"search_query": "OpenClaw framework",
"search_engine": "search_pro_quark",
"search_intent": false,
"count": 25
}'
Script Usage
A wrapper shell script is provided for convenience.
# Basic Search (defaults to search_pro_quark and 25 results)
./scripts/proxy_search.sh --query "AI development trends"
# Advanced Search
./scripts/proxy_search.sh \
--query "latest open source LLMs" \
--engine "search_pro_sogou" \
--count 50 \
--intent \
--recency "oneWeek"
Authentication
No authentication required — the proxy reads API keys internally from the Manager's encrypted secrets store.
