Oxylabs Web Search & Data

One tool for getting things off the web — pick a subcommand:

search — find pages for a query (titles, URLs, and optional page text)
scrape — get the content of one URL

Setup

If OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY is unset, get a key at https://aistudio.oxylabs.io/api-key and export it (or add to ~/.openclaw/.env). AI Studio has a free tier.

Usage

# search the web
python3 scripts/oxylabs.py search "\x3Cquery>" -n 5
python3 scripts/oxylabs.py search "\x3Cquery>" -n 3 --content   # + page text per result

# get one page as Markdown
python3 scripts/oxylabs.py scrape "\x3Curl>"

Common flags: --geo (two-letter ISO country) · --render-js (off by default; slower).

Usage Guidance

Install only if you are comfortable sending search queries, target URLs, and the Oxylabs API key to Oxylabs AI Studio. Do not use it for secrets, private internal links, regulated personal data, or authenticated content unless you have explicit authorization.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The artifacts coherently implement web search and single-page scraping through Oxylabs AI Studio, matching the advertised purpose.

ℹ Instruction Scope

The activation guidance is broad for web lookup tasks, so users should avoid using it for private, internal, authenticated, or sensitive URLs and queries.

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no package installer or hidden setup; it is a dependency-free Python script plus documented API-key setup.

ℹ Credentials

The script reads only the Oxylabs API key from the environment or ~/.openclaw/.env and sends user-supplied queries or URLs to Oxylabs, which is proportionate but should be understood as a third-party data flow.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

No persistence, privilege escalation, background execution, destructive action, or broad local file access was found.
