Baidu Smart Search

Call Baidu Qianfan web search APIs to search the live web with AppBuilder credentials and return structured results. Use when a task specifically needs Baidu/Qianfan search, Chinese web-heavy retrieval, site-filtered search, recency-filtered search, or a reusable local skill wrapping the /v2/ai_search/web_search endpoint.

Baidu Qianfan Search

Use this skill to query Baidu Qianfan's web search API and return structured search results without scraping websites directly.

Quick start

1. Store the API key in an environment variable before running scripts:

bash

export QIANFAN_APPBUILDER_API_KEY='...'

Or keep it in a local untracked file such as .env.local and source it manually:

bash

set -a
source ./.env.local
set +a

2. Run the bundled script:

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "北京有哪些旅游景区"

3. For raw JSON debugging:

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "北京有哪些旅游景区" --raw

Common patterns

Basic web search

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "百度千帆平台"

Restrict to specific sites

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "天气预报" --site weather.com.cn --site www.weather.com.cn

Filter by recency

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "近期 AI 智能体新闻" --recency week

Request images or videos too

bash

python3 scripts/qianfan_search.py "故宫博物院" --web-top-k 5 --image-top-k 5 --video-top-k 3 --raw

Output handling

• Default mode prints a normalized JSON object with query, count, items, and discovered raw_keys.
• --raw prints the full upstream JSON for troubleshooting or adapting to API changes.
• If Baidu changes response fields, inspect raw output first, then patch scripts/qianfan_search.py.

Security rules

• Never place the real API key in SKILL.md or references/.
• Never publish .env.local to ClawHub.
• Before packaging or publishing, delete any local secret files from the skill folder or ensure the publisher excludes them.

References

• Read references/api.md for the concise endpoint and parameter summary.
• Use scripts/qianfan_search.py as the canonical wrapper for the API.
