SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI models have training data cutoffs and cannot access current information like news, prices, or recently updated API documentation. This Skill bridges that gap by searching the web and fetching live page content on demand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Web Search: Run natural language queries and receive a summarized answer plus a list of relevant result pages with titles and URLs. - URL Fetching: Retrieve any public HTTPS page and convert its content into clean markdown for easy reading and citation. - Use Case: Imagine you need the current rate limits for the OpenAI API. Search for the latest documentation, then fetch the official page to verify exact numbers before writing integration code. ## Quick Start Search the web for the latest FastAPI dependency injection tutorial and fetch the top result's full content.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search the web for real-time information?▼

Call webSearch with a natural language query phrased as a complete question, such as current API rate limits or recent news. It returns a summarized searchAnswer plus a list of result pages with titles and URLs.

How to fetch content from a URL as markdown?▼

Call webFetch with a full HTTPS URL and it returns the page content extracted as markdown. This works well for reading documentation, articles, and guides in a clean text format.

Can web search access social media sites like Twitter or Reddit?▼

No, the skill cannot access social media platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Paywalled or authenticated content may also be inaccessible.

When should I not use web search?▼

Avoid it for Replit-specific features, image or media downloads, and searching code within your own project. Use dedicated documentation skills, media-generation tools, or grep/glob utilities for those tasks instead.

Why should I fetch pages after searching instead of trusting snippets?▼

Search snippets can be incomplete or outdated for critical details. Chaining webSearch with webFetch lets you verify facts against the full authoritative page content before relying on them.
