Search — General-Purpose Web & Platform Search

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Search the web, platforms, and proprietary datasets. Pick the best API for the task — or combine several for comprehensive results.

Tips

  • General web search: Start with Tavily (search_depth: "advanced") or Exa (type: "auto") for best relevance
  • Speed matters: Use Andi for fast results, Tavily ultra-fast for lowest latency
  • Sourced answers: Linkup and Valyu both generate answers with citations — Linkup is best for Q&A, Valyu for blending web + proprietary data
  • Academic/research data: Valyu's proprietary search type covers arxiv, pubmed, and academic datasets
  • News: Use Valyu (search_type: "news") or Tavily (topic: "news") for current events
  • Deep research: Tavily, Exa, and Valyu all offer async research tasks — Tavily for web-focused, Exa for comprehensive with citations, Valyu for web + academic mix
  • Find similar content: Exa's /findSimilar is unique — pass a URL and get semantically similar pages
  • Platform-specific search: SearchAPI is the only option for Amazon, eBay, Walmart, YouTube, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and ad libraries
  • Domain filtering: Most APIs support include_domains/exclude_domains to scope results
  • Async patterns: Deep research tasks (Tavily, Exa, Valyu) are async — POST to start, GET to poll for results
  • Combine APIs: For thorough research, run Tavily + Exa + Linkup in parallel and cross-reference results

ad-angle-miner

Free

Research supported advertising promises from a specific buyer's context, current product facts, customer language and observed ads. Turn them into static, video or copy ideas; match video ideas to actual recipes and save a product-scoped angle bank for write-video-ad-script. Product-led discovery can use verified facts without reviews. Reference persistence and reach are observations, not proof of performance.

ad-management-intake

Free

The intake stage of a Meta ad harness. Researches the brand first, states what it assumes, and asks only what it cannot infer and what would change money, claims or legal exposure if guessed wrong — at most four questions a turn, in plain business language. Writes the brand's stable facts (ads/brand.md), the campaign brief, and a log of what was asked vs assumed. Use it when someone wants to run Meta ads and the brand's ad facts are not yet recorded.

ad-policy-check

Free

Checks paid ads against the ad platform's rules (Meta, TikTok, Google, LinkedIn and others) and the brand's category rules: the copy, on-image or on-screen text, pictures and people. Rewrites what can be fixed honestly, adds the disclosures that are needed, and flags anything that needs a human or legal review, with one pass, fixed or flag line per ad and platform. Use alone when you already have the ad text or images and know where they will run; otherwise run the playbook for the job (e.g. make-static-ads, make-content, email-lifecycle).
