What is Valyu Search?
Valyu Search is a powerful integration for AI agents designed to bridge the gap between static model knowledge and the live web. By leveraging the Valyu.ai platform, this skill allows agents to browse current news, access specialized proprietary databases like PubMed or arXiv, and perform structured data extraction from any URL. It is a vital addition to the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills for developers building research-heavy applications.
The skill provides four distinct interfaces: Search for raw data, Contents for clean web scraping, Answer for synthesized responses with citations, and DeepResearch for long-running, comprehensive analytical reports. Whether you are building an automated market research tool or a fact-checking assistant, this skill provides the high-fidelity information required for professional-grade AI workflows.
Valyu Search Use Cases
- Performing deep academic or medical research using curated sources like arXiv and PubMed.
- Automating the extraction of structured data from web pages for database enrichment.
- Generating comprehensive market analysis reports using the DeepResearch async engine.
- Fact-checking AI responses with real-time web citations to reduce hallucinations.
- Tracking global news and financial trends through specialized data feeds.
How Valyu Search Works
- The user triggers the skill via a specific intent such as a web search or a request for a deep report.
- The agent executes the corresponding Node.js script, passing the query and optional filters like date ranges or specific source domains.
- Valyu's engine processes the request, optionally scraping pages or querying proprietary databases.
- Results are returned as clean Markdown or structured JSON, depending on the specific API endpoint used.
- For deep research tasks, the skill initiates an asynchronous process that can run for up to 90 minutes, eventually producing a full PDF or Markdown report.
Valyu Search Setup
To integrate this into your collection of Openclaw Skills, follow these steps:
- Obtain an API key from the Valyu dashboard.
- Configure your environment by setting the VALYU_API_KEY variable in your Gateway or .env file.
export VALYU_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
- Ensure Node.js is installed on your system as the skill scripts rely on the Node runtime to execute web queries.
Valyu Search Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data based on the specific API endpoint called. Below is a summary of the primary data structures:
| Feature | Output Format | Key Metadata |
|---|---|---|
| Search | JSON/Markdown | Snippets, source URLs, relevance scores |
| Contents | Markdown/JSON | Page text, metadata, structured extraction |
| Answer | String | Synthesized text with inline citations |
| DeepResearch | PDF/Markdown | Comprehensive reports with full bibliography |
Users can also provide a custom jsonSchema to force the Contents API to return data in a specific taxonomy, making it ideal for programmatic data pipelines.
Valyu Search Advanced Features
- Multi-mode research options including Fast, Standard, and Heavy modes for varying levels of analytical depth.
- Proprietary source filtering with access to SEC filings, USPTO patents, and global maritime tracking.
- Webhook support for asynchronous DeepResearch completion notifications to handle long-running tasks.
- Natural language category filtering to refine search relevance for academic or financial contexts.
- Support for structured JSON extraction from raw HTML using AI-driven parsing.
