Web Search Drivers

Overview

Web Search Drivers can be used to search for links from a search query. They are used by WebSearch to provide its functionality. All Web Search Drivers implement the following methods:

  • search() searches the web and returns a ListArtifact that contains JSON-serializable TextArtifacts with the search results.

You can use Web Search Drivers with Structures:

from griptape.drivers import DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver
from griptape.structures import Agent
from griptape.tools import PromptSummaryTool, WebSearchTool

agent = Agent(
    tools=[WebSearchTool(web_search_driver=DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver()), PromptSummaryTool(off_prompt=False)],
)

agent.run("Give me some websites with information about AI frameworks.")

    Output: Here are some websites with information about AI
    frameworks:

Web Search Drivers

Google

The GoogleWebSearchDriver uses the Google Custom Search JSON API for web searching.

Example using GoogleWebSearchDriver directly:

import os

from griptape.drivers import GoogleWebSearchDriver

driver = GoogleWebSearchDriver(
    api_key=os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"],
    search_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_API_SEARCH_ID"],
)

driver.search("griptape ai")

DuckDuckGo

Info

This driver requires the drivers-web-search-duckduckgo extra.

The DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver uses the duckduckgo_search SDK for web searching.

Example of using DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver directly:

from griptape.drivers import DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver

driver = DuckDuckGoWebSearchDriver()

driver.search("griptape ai")

Tavily

Info

This driver requires the drivers-web-search-tavily extra, and a Tavily api key.

Example of using TavilyWebSearchDriver directly:

import os

from griptape.drivers import TavilyWebSearchDriver

driver = TavilyWebSearchDriver(api_key=os.environ["TAVILY_API_KEY"])

driver.search("griptape ai")

Exa

Info

This driver requires the drivers-web-search-exa extra, and an Exa api key

Example of using ExaWebSearchDriver directly:

import os

from griptape.drivers import ExaWebSearchDriver

driver = ExaWebSearchDriver(api_key=os.environ["EXA_API_KEY"])

driver.search("griptape ai")
