Search with SerpAPI in Jinba Flow

Run SERPAPI_SEARCH with a query and optional search engine, then inspect the results.

Use SERPAPI_SEARCH with a query. The optional engine defaults to google. Set token for your own SerpAPI key, or use the Jinba credit option.

Run a SerpAPI search

The SerpAPI tool allows you to search the web using SerpAPI’s capabilities. It provides a simple interface to query the web and retrieve relevant information based on your input.

Key Features

• SERPAPI_SEARCH
  • Search for information on the web using a query string.
  • Retrieve relevant results based on your input.
  • Get answers to questions, summaries, and more.

Authentication

If you do not have a SerpAPI API key, you can still run SerpAPI tools by using Jinba API credit. If you’d like to use your own API key, you can obtain one from the official SerpAPI website.

Note: Treat API keys as sensitive information and never commit them to public repositories.

Example: Run SerpAPI Search

- id: serpapi_search
  tool: SERPAPI_SEARCH
  config:
    - name: token
      value: "{{secrets.SERPAPI_API_KEY}}"
  input:
    - name: query
      value: What is the capital of France?
    - name: engine
      value: google

Inspect SerpAPI results

The response is under result.search_results. Its fields vary by engine, so inspect the actual result before referencing a nested field. If the step fails, check the key or credit option, query, and engine value.
