SerpApi

What is the SerpApi tool?

The SerpApi tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to google and youtube search via serpapi. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a SERP_API_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at serpapi.com.

How to use SerpApi in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable SerpApi

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "SerpApi" from the search category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your SERP_API_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use SerpApi when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for SerpApi.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use SerpApi:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.serpapi import SerpApiTools

agent = Agent(
    name="SerpApi Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[SerpApiTools()],
    instructions=["Use the serpapi tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a serpapi task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set SERP_API_KEY
