feat(tools): add SearchApiTool for searchapi.io - #7212
Conversation
SearchApi fronts many engines behind one endpoint, so a single tool covers Google web search, news, scholar and jobs, plus Bing, YouTube and Baidu, by setting the engine parameter. The response is the engine's own JSON, trimmed before an agent sees it: inline data: URIs are dropped because SearchApi returns favicons and thumbnails as base64 strings that can each run to tens of kilobytes, long strings are truncated, and every *_results list is capped at n_results. The key is sent in the Authorization header rather than the query string, so it stays out of request logs and out of the request_url SearchApi echoes back in search_metadata. A failed request raises with the API's own message, while a 200 carrying an error message, which is how SearchApi reports a page with no results, is passed through so the agent can read why.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ChangesSearchApi tool implementation
Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a credentialed outbound search integration, but the request URL can currently direct the bearer key to an unintended destination, creating a significant secret-disclosure and SSRF risk. The public schema also omits the per-call engine override, so schema-based callers cannot use that feature. These issues should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

SearchApiTool._run raises RuntimeError when requests.get returns a non-success HTTP response. Transport errors occur before a response and are not converted by this method. Document transport exceptions separately, or normalize them in the implementation.

site:requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest user guide exceptions requests.get timeout connection error raises
💡 Result:
When using the Python requests library, network issues and timeout events raise specific exceptions that you can handle to prevent your application from hanging or crashing [1][2]. All exceptions explicitly raised by requests inherit from requests.exceptions.RequestException [1]. Timeout Exceptions If you set a timeout parameter in requests.get (or other methods), requests raises a Timeout exception if the server does not respond within the specified time [1][2]. - requests.exceptions.Timeout: The base class for timeout errors. Catching this will capture both connection and read timeouts [3][4]. - requests.exceptions.ConnectTimeout: Raised specifically if the request times out while trying to establish a connection to the remote server [3][4]. Requests marks these as safe to retry [3][4]. - requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: Raised if the server fails to send any data within the allotted time after a connection has been established [5][4]. Connection Exceptions If a network-level problem occurs—such as a DNS failure or a refused connection—requests raises a ConnectionError [1][4]. - requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: The base class for connection-related issues [3][4]. - Note: ConnectTimeout is a subclass of both ConnectionError and Timeout [5]. Example Implementation It is recommended to wrap requests in a try-except block to handle these cases gracefully: import requests from requests.exceptions import Timeout, ConnectionError, RequestException try: response = requests.get('https://example.com', timeout=(3.05, 27)) response.raise_for_status except ConnectTimeout: print("The request timed out while connecting.") except ReadTimeout: print("The request timed out while waiting for data.") except ConnectionError: print("A network error occurred (e.g., DNS, connection refused).") except Timeout: print("A generic timeout error occurred.") except RequestException as e: print(f"An ambiguous error occurred: {e}") For production code, it is essential to always provide a timeout value, as the default behavior in requests is to wait indefinitely [1][2]. You can provide a single float for both connect and read timeouts, or a tuple (connect, read) for granular control [3][2].

Limit the credential-safety claim to URL exposure. The Authorization header keeps SEARCHAPI_API_KEY out of the query string and echoed request_url, but this integration does not guarantee that HTTP clients, proxies, gateways, or tracing systems omit the header from logs. Update the README and localized documentation to state only the URL guarantee, or document the required header-redaction policy.

endpoint and ensure the bearer-token request is never attempted for invalid
URLs. Add a test covering an HTTP custom URL and verify requests.get is not
called.

Document transport failures separately from HTTP failures.
SearchApiTool._run raises RuntimeError only for responses with status >= 400. Requests connection and timeout exceptions propagate separately. State that HTTP errors raise RuntimeError, while transport exceptions propagate.

Expose the per-call engine parameter in the runtime schema.
Line 76 defines an input schema with only search_query. The generated runtime schema also omits engine. Schema-based callers therefore cannot use the required per-call engine override. The current test calls private _run, so it does not detect this public-contract failure.
Add an optional engine field to SearchApiToolSchema, use it when present, and regenerate tool.specs.json.

SSRF (CWE-918): Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate
Restrict search_url before sending the API key.
_run sends the Bearer credential to any configured URL. If untrusted configuration sets search_url, the endpoint receives the API key. Restrict the value to the exact HTTPS SearchApi endpoint or an HTTPS host and path allowlist.

Summary
Adds
SearchApiTool, a search tool for SearchApi, alongside the existing Serper, SerpApi, Brave, Tavily, Exa and LinkUp tools.SearchApi puts many engines behind one endpoint, selected with
engine, so a single tool covers Google web search, news, scholar and jobs, plus Bing, YouTube, Baidu and the rest of their engine list. The tool returns the engine's own JSON, so results line up with SearchApi's documentation for that engine.Three behaviours are worth calling out, because each one is a decision rather than a default:
The key travels in the
Authorizationheader, not the query string. SearchApi acceptsapi_keyas a query parameter, but it also acceptsAuthorization: Bearer. The header keeps the key out of request logs and out of therequest_urlthat SearchApi echoes back insidesearch_metadata.Inline
data:URIs are dropped. SearchApi returns favicons and thumbnails as base64 strings on most result items, and a single one can run to tens of kilobytes of context that means nothing to a model. Long strings are truncated atmax_string_length(default 1000) and every*_resultslist is capped atn_results(default 10), in the same spirit asTavilySearchTool.max_content_length_per_result.An empty result page is not an error. SearchApi's OpenAPI spec documents
erroras a field of the 200SearchResponse, carrying messages such as"Google didn't return any results."alongsidedmca_messages, so a 200 witherroris passed through to the agent rather than raised. Genuine failures (400, 401, 403, 429, 5xx) raise aRuntimeErrorcarrying SearchApi's own message, for exampleSearchApi request failed (HTTP 401): Invalid API key..No new package dependency: the tool uses
requests, whichcrewai-toolsalready depends on.Verification
Tests added or updated for the changed behavior
Relevant tests and quality checks pass locally
uv run pytest lib/crewai-tools/tests/tools/searchapi_tool_test.pypasses: 14 tests covering the Bearer header, per-call engine override, localization parameters, result capping, base64 stripping, truncation, the empty-page passthrough, and both error paths.uv run pytest lib/crewai-tools/tests/passes: 449 passed, 2 skipped. Thetest_mongodb_vector_search_tool.pyfailure and thetest_oxylabs_tools.pycollection error are pre-existing on a cleanmain(missing optional dependencies) and unrelated to this change.uv run ruff check lib/crewai-tools/src,uv run ruff format --check, anduv run mypyon the new module are all clean.tool.specs.jsonregenerated withuv run python src/crewai_tools/generate_tool_specs.py. The generate-tool-specs workflow skips fork PRs, so the regenerated file is committed here; the diff is purely additive.Not yet verified against a live API call, since the request shape and every response field used here come from SearchApi's published OpenAPI spec (
https://www.searchapi.io/openapi/google.yaml) rather than a recorded search. Happy to add apytest-recordingcassette if you would prefer one.Additional context

DOCS_TRANSLATIONS.md:edge/{en,ar,ko,pt-BR}/tools/search-research/searchapitool.mdx, plus a card on eachsearch-research/overview.mdxand the fourdocs.jsonnavigation entries. A tool README sits next to the module, matching the other search tools.
