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.

  --data '{
    "search_query": "OpenClaw framework",
    "search_engine": "search_pro_quark",
    "search_intent": false,
    "count": 20
  }'
