What is Kimi Web Search?
Kimi Web Search is a specialized tool designed for AI agents to bridge the gap between their training data and the live internet. By leveraging the Moonshot AI platform, this skill allows agents to perform deep web searches, retrieve the most recent news, and verify facts that are beyond their internal knowledge cutoff. As a vital part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, it ensures that your automated workflows are grounded in current, verifiable information.
The skill is particularly effective for scenarios where accuracy and source attribution are paramount. It doesn't just return raw data; it facilitates structured analysis and encourages agents to provide summarized conclusions backed by original source URLs.
Kimi Web Search Use Cases
- Obtaining real-time news updates on specific topics like finance or technology.
- Verifying facts or checking the status of recent events.
- Researching technical documentation or API changes that occurred after the model's training date.
- Providing categorized summaries of daily global or domestic news highlights.
How Kimi Web Search Works
- The agent analyzes the user's request and formulates a precise, single-sentence search query.
- The web search script is invoked using either Kimi or Moonshot API credentials.
- The tool crawls the web to gather relevant information based on the optimized query.
- Search results are processed, summarized, and categorized into relevant sections.
- The final output is presented to the user with mandatory source citations and direct links.
Kimi Web Search Setup
To integrate this into your Openclaw Skills environment, you must provide a Moonshot API key. You can obtain one from the Moonshot AI console.
# Set your environment variables
export MOONSHOT_API_KEY="your_api_key"
# Install dependencies
pip install "openai>=1.0.0"
# Execute a search
python3 scripts/web_search.py "your search query"
If your environment supports uv, you can run the script using uv run scripts/web_search.py.
