What is Nimble Web Search?
Nimble Web Search is a sophisticated tool designed to provide AI agents with real-time web intelligence and deep content extraction. By leveraging the Nimble Search API, this skill allows agents to move beyond static training data and access the live web across eight specialized focus modes, including coding, news, academic, and shopping. As a premier addition to the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, it enables high-speed URL discovery and AI-powered answer synthesis.
This skill is built for performance, offering a fast mode for 1-3 second responses and a deep search mode for full-page content extraction. Whether you are building a research assistant or a technical support bot, integrating this with your Openclaw Skills setup ensures your agent has access to the most current and relevant data available on the internet.
Nimble Web Search Use Cases
- Finding the latest technical documentation and programming examples in real-time.
- Monitoring breaking news and current events across global sources.
- Performing comprehensive academic research with scholarly citations.
- Executing parallel searches to compare perspectives across different focus modes.
- Extracting full-page markdown or plain text for deep content analysis and archiving.
How Nimble Web Search Works
- The user or agent initiates a search query and selects one of the 8 specialized focus modes.
- The skill validates the NIMBLE_API_KEY and checks if fast mode (deep_search: false) or deep mode is requested.
- A structured request is sent to the Nimble Search API, incorporating filters like domain constraints and time ranges.
- The API returns real-time web results, which can optionally include an AI-synthesized answer generated by Claude.
- The results are formatted as structured JSON, allowing the agent to easily integrate the findings into its current workflow.
Nimble Web Search Setup
To get started with Nimble Web Search in your environment, ensure you have a valid API key from Nimbleway. This tool integrates seamlessly with your existing Openclaw Skills configuration.
Set the environment variable in your shell:
export NIMBLE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
For Claude Code users, add the key to your settings file:
{
"env": {
"NIMBLE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
Verify your configuration by running the provided validation script:
./scripts/validate-query.sh "test" general
Nimble Web Search Data Schema & Taxonomy
