The tools
trawlia_search
Ranked, deduplicated results from the live web.
| Argument | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
query | required | Natural language, not keywords. |
search_depth | basic | basic is 1 credit and returns snippets. advanced is 2 and returns full page text. |
topic | general | news reaches news indexes and returns publication dates. |
max_results | 5 | Up to 20. These go into your context, so fewer is usually better. |
include_domains / exclude_domains | - | Host filters. Subdomains are included. |
time_range | - | day, week, month, year. |
trawlia_extract
Fetches URLs you already have and returns their readable content, with navigation, cookie banners and newsletter modals removed. 1 credit per 5 URLs, so pass the whole list at once.
What the model sees
Results come back as readable text rather than raw JSON, and carry two things a plain response would lose:
- When a page could not be read, the result says so and why, instead of presenting a snippet as though it were the article.
- A coverage line when a source was unavailable, so the model can weigh a thin result set properly rather than reporting it as a confident nothing.
Errors are readable sentences that say whether retrying is worth it. Running out of credits says so and says not to retry; a rate limit says how long to wait.
Costs
| Operation | Credits |
|---|---|
| Basic search | 1 |
| Advanced search | 2 |
| Extraction | 1 per 5 URLs |
Charged before the work and refunded on hard failure. Full price list at trawlia.co/pricing.
Not available
Search and extraction, and nothing else. There is no crawler and no long-running job to poll. If your agent needs to walk a whole site, this is the wrong server for it.
Checking it works
TRAWLIA_API_KEY=twl_... node smoke.mjs
Spends a few credits against the real API and prints what a client sees: the tool list, a rendered search, a rejected parameter, and an extraction. Not in CI, because it costs money and depends on the live web.
Environment
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
TRAWLIA_API_KEY | yes | A search-scoped key is enough and is what you should deploy. |
TRAWLIA_BASE_URL | no | Defaults to https://api.trawlia.co. For pointing at a local server. |
