Jina Reader & Search Skill
Two APIs, zero API key required (optional key for higher rate limits).
Reader — Fetch a URL as Markdown
Simple (shell):
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/\x3CURL>"
With script:
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py \x3CURL>
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py \x3CURL> --no-images # strip images
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py \x3CURL> --json # structured JSON response
With API key (set in .env):
JINA_API_KEY=your_key python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py \x3CURL>
Useful request headers (for direct curl):
| Header | Purpose |
|---|---|
Authorization: Bearer \x3Ckey> |
Higher rate limits |
X-Return-Format: markdown |
Force markdown output |
X-Remove-Selector: img |
Strip images |
Accept: application/json |
JSON response with title, url, content |
Search — Web Search via Jina
Simple (shell):
curl -s "https://s.jina.ai/\x3CURL-encoded-query>"
With script:
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query"
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query" --json
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query" --json --results 3
API Key
| API | Without Key | With Key |
|---|---|---|
Reader (r.jina.ai) |
✅ Works (rate-limited) | Higher limits |
Search (s.jina.ai) |
❌ Requires key | ✅ Works |
Store as JINA_API_KEY in .env. Get a free key at: https://jina.ai/api-dashboard
No key for search? Use the
duckduckgo-searchskill as a fallback.
Notes
- Reader works on most pages including JS-heavy sites
- Search returns up to 5 results by default, each with title, URL, and content summary
- For very long pages, use
--no-imagesto reduce token usage
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and small, but be aware of two practical risks before installing: (1) Privacy/exfiltration — when you ask it to 'read' a URL the URL (and thus whatever the remote service fetches) is sent to Jina's servers (r.jina.ai/s.jina.ai). Do not pass private, internal, or secret URLs or content you don't want a third party to see. (2) Input validation — the scripts do minimal validation; if used by an automated agent, ensure it won't be fed sensitive internal endpoints. If you want to avoid third‑party transmission, don't use this skill for sensitive pages. Otherwise it is proportionate to its stated purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: jina-ai-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The jina-ai-skill bundle is a straightforward implementation of a web reader and search tool using Jina AI's public APIs. The Python scripts (jina_read.py and jina_search.py) use standard libraries to make HTTP requests to legitimate endpoints (r.jina.ai and s.jina.ai) and do not exhibit any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the provided scripts and SKILL.md. The two included Python scripts only call the r.jina.ai and s.jina.ai endpoints and optionally read a JINA_API_KEY env var for higher rate limits—this is proportional to a web-reading/search skill.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and scripts only perform outbound HTTP requests to Jina's reader/search endpoints and print results. This is within scope. Important privacy note: any URL or content you send (or that the skill instructs the remote service to fetch) will be transmitted to jina.ai; avoid passing secrets or private/internal URLs you don't want sent to a third party.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-plus-small-scripts only. The Python files use the standard library (urllib) and do not download additional code or third-party packages.
Credentials
No required environment variables are declared. An optional JINA_API_KEY may be provided for higher rate limits; this is appropriate and limited in scope.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request persistent/always-on privileges, does not modify other skills or system config, and defaults to normal agent invocation behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install jina-ai-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/jina-ai-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
