- You need real-time information (news, prices, events)
- Looking up API documentation or SDK guides
- Accessing current technical information beyond training data
- Verifying facts from authoritative sources
When NOT to Use
- Replit-specific features (use the replit-docs skill)

Available Functions
Single web search — webSearch(query)
Search the web for a single query.
Parameters:
query(str, required): Natural language search query phrased as a complete question
Returns: Dict with searchAnswer and resultPages (list of title/url/snippet dicts)
Example:
javascript
const results = await webSearch({ query: "OpenAI API rate limits 2026" });
console.log(results.searchAnswer);
for (const page of results.resultPages) {
console.log(`${page.title}: ${page.url}`);
}Multiple web searches — webSearch({ queries })
Run multiple searches concurrently (max 10).
Parameters:
queries(list[str]): List of natural language search queries phrased as complete questions
Returns: List of result dicts, each with searchAnswer and resultPages (list of title/url/snippet dicts)
Example:
javascript
const results = await webSearch({
queries: [
"OpenAI API rate limits 2026",
"Anthropic API rate limits 2026",
]
});
for (const result of results) {
console.log(result.searchAnswer);
}webFetch(url)
Fetch and extract content from a URL as markdown.
Parameters:
url(str, required): Full HTTPS URL to fetch
Returns: Dict with markdown key containing page content
Example:
javascript
const content = await webFetch({ url: "https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits" });
console.log(content.markdown.slice(0, 1000));Best Practices
- Use natural language queries: Write queries as complete questions with context
- Chain search and fetch: Search first, then fetch specific pages for details
- Be specific: Include dates, versions, or other specifics in queries
- Verify with fetch: Don't rely only on search snippets for critical information
Example Workflow
javascript
// Find information about a topic
const searchResult = await webSearch({ query: "FastAPI dependency injection tutorial 2026" });
// Get full content from the most relevant result
if (searchResult.resultPages.length > 0) {
const bestUrl = searchResult.resultPages[0].url;
const fullContent = await webFetch({ url: bestUrl });
console.log(fullContent.markdown);
