Tavily

Purpose

Provide a curl-based interface to Tavily’s REST API for web search, extraction, mapping, crawling, and optional research. Return structured results suitable for LLM workflows and multi-step investigations.

When to Use

• Use when a task needs live web information, site extraction, mapping, or crawling.
• Use when web searches are needed and no built-in tool is available, or when Tavily’s LLM-friendly output (summaries, chunks, sources, citations) is beneficial.
• Use when a task requires structured search results, extraction, or site discovery from Tavily.

Required Environment

• Require TAVILY_API_KEY in the environment.
• If TAVILY_API_KEY is missing, prompt the user to provide the API key before proceeding.
