baidu-search

The Baidu Search skill is a powerful tool for OpenClaw agents to access real-time data directly from the Baidu AI Search Engine (BDSE). Designed for researchers, developers, and content creators, this skill facilitates quick retrieval of current events, technical documentation, and specific research topics that require up-to-date web intelligence. By leveraging the Baidu AI search infrastructure, users can perform targeted queries that go beyond static knowledge bases.

• Real-time web querying: Retrieve current data on trending topics, news, and technical references directly through the BDSE API.

• Advanced search parameters: Customize search results with configurable result counts (1-50) and specific freshness filters.

• Time-range filtering: Support for both date-to-date range formats (YYYY-MM-DDtoYYYY-MM-DD) and relative time snapshots (past 24 hours, 7 days, 31 days, or 365 days).

• Seamless integration: Designed to be invoked via CLI scripts, making it ideal for integration into agent workflows, automated reports, or custom research bots.

• Prerequisites: Requires a valid BAIDU_API_KEY from the Baidu Cloud Console (BCE) to authenticate and execute requests.

• Input/Output: Accepts a JSON-formatted query payload including mandatory query strings and optional parameters like count or freshness flags. Outputs standard search results suitable for processing by AI agents.

• Constraints: Ensure the API key is properly configured in the environment. Results are dependent on the current indexing of the Baidu AI Search service. Usage is subject to the Baidu Cloud AI Search API rate limits and terms of service.
