SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires z-ai-web-dev-sdk, and includes scripts (resource) components.

## What problem does it solve? AI applications often need current information from the web; this skill provides a reliable way to perform web searches and return structured results that can be consumed by downstream components.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Web search powered by the z-ai-web-dev-sdk to retrieve current information and relevant content.
  • Returns structured results, including url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon for easy integration.
  • CLI-based queries and production-ready SDK usage for embedding web search in applications.

### Quick Start Install and configure the z-ai-web-dev-sdk in your backend project. Initialize the SDK, then call zai.functions.invoke('web_search', { query: "<your query>", num: 10 }). The results will be returned as an array of SearchFunctionResultItem objects.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform real-time web searches and get structured results in my backend application?▼

To perform real-time web searches and get structured results, initialize the z-ai-web-dev-sdk in your backend project and invoke the web search function. This queries the web and returns an array of SearchFunctionResultItem objects containing url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon for easy integration.

What is the best way to integrate current web search data into an automation workflow?▼

The best way to integrate web search data into automation workflows is using a production-ready SDK invocation pattern. By calling the web search function with your query, you retrieve current information formatted as structured SearchFunctionResultItem arrays that downstream components can directly consume.

Do I need the z-ai-web-dev-sdk to retrieve web search results for content discovery?▼

Yes, you need the z-ai-web-dev-sdk installed and configured in your backend project to retrieve web search results. This dependency powers the web search capability and returns structured data including url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon for content discovery tasks.

Can I run web searches via CLI for research and monitoring tasks?▼

Yes, you can run web searches via CLI for research and monitoring tasks. The skill supports CLI-based queries alongside production integrations, returning structured results containing url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon for real-time information retrieval.

How does the web search function return data for downstream AI applications?▼

The web search function returns data as an array of SearchFunctionResultItem objects. Each object includes structured fields like url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon, allowing downstream AI applications to easily consume current web information.

Why use an SDK for web searches instead of unstructured web scraping?▼

Using an SDK for web searches provides reliable, structured results without the overhead of parsing unstructured HTML. It returns formatted SearchFunctionResultItem objects with url, name, snippet, host_name, date, and favicon, enabling immediate consumption by AI applications and automation workflows.
