Unified search API across Google, Amazon, Yelp, OpenTable, Walmart, and more.

  • Works in 3 steps: Get an API key from https://serpapi.com… → Set environment variable: export… → Optionally set default location in…
  • Searching for products
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Usage, Engines and Options, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; needs SERPAPI_API_KEY

What it does

Serpapi is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Unified search API across Google, Amazon, Yelp, OpenTable, Walmart, and more. Use when searching for products, local businesses, restaurants, shopping, images, news, or any web search. One API key, many engines.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/serp.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with SerpApi. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Searching for products
  • Local businesses

Example prompts

  • “/serpapi”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in SERPAPI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get an API key from https://serpapi.com (free tier: 100 searches/month)
  2. Set environment variable: export SERPAPI_API_KEY=your-key-here
  3. Optionally set default location in /TOOLS.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • serpapi.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SERPAPI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Serpapi loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 343 words (~1,023 tokens).

“SerpAPI provides structured data from Google, Amazon, Yelp, OpenTable, and 20+ other search engines through a single API.”
