crewai-autom

CrewAI tool for Autom, a SERP API that returns live search engine results as JSON.

AutomSearchTool lets an agent search the web with Google (the default), Google News, Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo or Yahoo.

Installation

pip install crewai-autom

Get an API key at app.autom.dev and set it in the environment:

export AUTOM_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Usage

from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
from crewai_autom import AutomSearchTool

search = AutomSearchTool(n_results=5)

researcher = Agent(
    role="Researcher",
    goal="Find current facts on the web",
    backstory="You check recent sources before answering.",
    tools=[search],
)
task = Task(
    description="What changed in the latest Python release?", expected_output="A short summary", agent=researcher
)
Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task]).kickoff()

The tool returns a JSON list of results. Each result has title, link, snippet and position; news results also have date and source.

API errors are returned to the agent as text, and the key never appears in them. Autom reports a rate limit as HTTP 401 with "Rate limit exceeded"; the tool says "rate limit exceeded" in that case.

Development

pip install -e ".[test]"
pytest
