haystack_integrations.components.websearch.searchapi.websearch

SearchApiWebSearch

Uses SearchApi to search the web for relevant documents.

Usage example:

from haystack.utils import Secret

from haystack_integrations.components.websearch.searchapi import SearchApiWebSearch

websearch = SearchApiWebSearch(top_k=10, api_key=Secret.from_env_var("SEARCHAPI_API_KEY"))
results = websearch.run(query="Who is the boyfriend of Olivia Wilde?")

assert results["documents"]
assert results["links"]

init

__init__(
    api_key: Secret = Secret.from_env_var("SEARCHAPI_API_KEY"),
    top_k: int | None = 10,
    allowed_domains: list[str] | None = None,
    search_params: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
) -> None

Initialize the SearchApiWebSearch component.

Parameters:

• api_key (Secret) – API key for the SearchApi API
• top_k (int | None) – Number of documents to return.
• allowed_domains (list[str] | None) – List of domains to limit the search to.
• search_params (dict[str, Any] | None) – Additional parameters passed to the SearchApi API. For example, you can set 'num' to 100 to increase the number of search results. See the SearchApi website for more details.

The default search engine is Google, however, users can change it by setting the engine parameter in the search_params.

Deserializes the component from a dictionary.

Parameters:

Returns:

• SearchApiWebSearch – The deserialized component.

run

run(query: str) -> dict[str, list[Document] | list[str]]
