Zhipu Web Search

Web search via Zhipu AI's dedicated API (/paas/v4/web_search), refactored to use lightweight cURL instead of Python or jq. It defaults to using the search_pro_quark engine with 20 results.

Quick Start

Basic cURL Usage

curl --request POST \
  --url https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/web_search \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ZHIPU_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "search_query": "OpenClaw framework",
    "search_engine": "search_pro_quark",
    "search_intent": false,
    "count": 20
  }'

Script Usage

A wrapper shell script is provided for convenience.

# Basic Search (defaults to search_pro_quark and 20 results)
bash scripts/zhipu_search.sh --query "AI development trends"

# Advanced Search
bash scripts/zhipu_search.sh \
  --query "latest open source LLMs" \
