openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix feat(web_search): consider DuckDuckGo-compatible provider [1 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

To add a DuckDuckGo-compatible provider for web_search, follow these steps:

• Add a new provider configuration:
  • Create a new file duckduckgo.py in the web_search/providers directory
  • Define a DuckDuckGoProvider class that inherits from the base WebSearchProvider class
• Implement the search method:
  • Use the requests library to send a GET request to the DuckDuckGo API
  • Parse the response JSON to extract the title, URL, and snippet for each result
• Update the web_search interface:
  • Add a new duckduckgo provider option to the tools.web.search.provider configuration
  • Update the web_search function to use the new provider
• Add provider-specific documentation and onboarding guidance:
  • Create a new Markdown file in the docs directory to document the DuckDuckGo provider
  • Update the onboarding process to include the new provider option

Example code:

# duckduckgo.py
import requests

class DuckDuckGoProvider(WebSearchProvider):
    def search(self, query):
        url = "https://api.duckduckgo.com/"
        params = {"q": query, "format": "json"}
        response = requests.get(url, params=params)
        results = []
        for result in response.json()["RelatedTopics"]:
            title = result["Text"]
            url = result["FirstURL"]
            snippet = result["Text"]
            results.append({"title": title, "url": url, "snippet": snippet})
        return results

Verification

To verify that the fix worked:

• Test the new provider by setting tools.web.search.provider to duckduckgo and running a search query
• Verify that the search results are displayed correctly with title, URL, and snippet
• Test the onboarding process to ensure that the new provider option is available and functional

Extra Tips

• Make sure to handle errors and exceptions properly, such as API rate limits or invalid responses
• Consider adding additional features, such as support for multiple search parameters or result filtering
• Update the tests to cover the new provider and ensure that it works correctly in different scenarios.
