What is Z.AI Web Search API Skill?
The Z.AI Web Search API Skill is a robust integration for Openclaw Skills designed to bridge the gap in high-quality Chinese web search. By leveraging ZHIPU AI's specialized search engines, it provides LLMs with structured data including snippets, intent recognition, and site metadata.
Unlike standard search tools, this skill is specifically tuned for model processing, offering superior results for queries requiring deep context or regional specificity. It functions as a specialized extension within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, allowing agents to access real-time information with high precision.
Z.AI Web Search API Skill Use Cases
- Retrieving up-to-date information from Chinese-language news and technical sources.
- Enhancing AI agent reasoning with intent-aware search queries that rewrite ambiguous prompts.
- Filtering searches to specific domains for documentation or specialized research tasks.
- Providing a high-quality alternative to built-in search tools when localized content is required.
How Z.AI Web Search API Skill Works
- The user or AI agent triggers a search request via the zai-search CLI or direct API call.
- The skill performs optional intent recognition to refine the query and select the most appropriate keywords for the LLM.
- A request is dispatched to one of four optimized engines including Zhipu Pro, Standard, Sogou, or Quark.
- Structured JSON data containing titles, URLs, snippets, and site icons is returned.
- The output is formatted into Markdown, JSON, or a compact view for seamless agent consumption.
Z.AI Web Search API Skill Setup
To integrate this search capability into your Openclaw Skills setup, follow these steps:
# 1. Obtain an API key from https://open.bigmodel.cn
# 2. Set the environment variable
export ZAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# 3. (Optional) Create a local configuration file
cp config.json.example config.json
# Edit config.json to set your default engine and result count
Z.AI Web Search API Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy

| publish_date | The date the content was originally published. |
