Dataify Google Search

When the user requests "call Google Search" or "web search/SERP crawling", or explicitly mentions the web search field, the dataify-google-search skill is tr...

Use this skill to turn a user's Google search request into a Dataify Scraper API call.

Required Pre-Call Confirmation

Before every real API call, follow this confirmation flow. These rules override any older workflow order in this skill.

1. Parse the user's request into the API body fields and fixed engine value.
2. Apply defaults only when the parameter description explicitly states a default. Do not use example YAML values, sample prompts, placeholder values, or examples such as pizza, us, en, dates, airport codes, or tokens as defaults.
3. If a required parameter has no documented default and cannot be inferred from the user request, ask for that parameter before building the table.
4. Show a Markdown table before calling the API. Do not include Authorization. Include the complete body field list from this skill's reference document, including engine, even when a field is currently blank.
5. The table must have exactly these columns: 参数名, 当前值, 默认值, 说明.
6. After the table, ask the user whether they want to modify any parameter. Do not call the API until the user explicitly confirms.
7. If the user changes a parameter, regenerate the table and ask for confirmation again.
8. If the token is missing, stop and tell the user to sign in at Dataify Dashboard to obtain DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.

Use the bundled preview helper whenever possible to generate the confirmation table from this skill's reference document:

bash

python3 scripts/preview_params.py --params-json '{"q":"USER_QUERY"}'

Pass every parsed current value to preview_params.py using --params-json or matching --field value arguments. The helper reads defaults and descriptions from references/*api.md; if the helper cannot parse a default, leave the default blank rather than inventing one. 9. After confirmation and token handling, call the bundled Python script with python3 and return the API response body directly without summarizing, extracting, cleaning, translating, or reshaping it.

Workflow

1. Parse the user's request into Dataify Google Search fields. Use q as the search query and set engine to google.
2. If the token is missing, stop and tell the user to sign in at Dataify Dashboard to obtain DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
3. Build request parameters with only the fields the user requested plus required defaults. Use json: "1" unless the user asks for another output format. The script submits these parameters as form data, not a JSON request body.
4. Run the bundled Python script with python3. Run it from this skill directory, or use the absolute path to scripts/google_search.py.

bash

python3 scripts/google_search.py --q "OpenAI news" --gl us --hl en --json 1

For many fields, you may pass one JSON object with shell-appropriate quoting:

bash

python3 scripts/google_search.py --params-json '{"q":"OpenAI news","gl":"us","hl":"en","json":"1"}'

If the user provided a token in the conversation instead of an environment variable, pass it with --token and avoid echoing it back in the final answer:

bash

python3 scripts/google_search.py --token "USER_TOKEN" --q "OpenAI news" --gl us --hl en

5. Return the script output directly to the user. Do not summarize, extract, clean, translate, or reshape the API response.

Field Mapping

Use references/google_search_api.md when you need the exact field list or examples.

Core rules:

• Always submit the API request as form data with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
• Always force engine to google.
• Keep request values as strings unless the script accepts and normalizes a boolean.
• Omit optional fields that the user did not request.
• Ask a follow-up only when the required search query q cannot be inferred.
• If both location and uule are present, prefer the explicit uule and omit location.
• Normalize token values in the script. A token without Bearer is accepted and prefixed automatically.

Common mappings:

• "JSON" -> json: "1"
• "JSON+HTML" -> json: "2"
• "HTML" -> json: "3"
• "Light JSON" -> json: "4"
• country or region for Google behavior -> gl
• interface/search language -> hl
• country-restricted results -> cr, formatted like countryFR
• language-restricted results -> lr, formatted like lang_fr
• page number N -> start: String((N - 1) * 10)
• safe search on/off -> safe: "active" or safe: "off"
• desktop/tablet/mobile -> device
• render JavaScript -> render_js: "true"
• bypass cache -> no_cache: "true"
• include AI Overview -> ai_overview: "true"
