What is it?
AnySearch Skill is an installable skill package that lets AI agents run real-time searches through the AnySearch API. It covers general web search, search within vertical domains, parallel batch queries, and extraction of full page content as Markdown.
The package ships with command-line clients in Python, Node.js, PowerShell, and Bash, so an agent can call the same search and extract commands regardless of which runtime is available. An API key is optional; without one, searches run anonymously under lower rate limits. The package also includes a helper to register an account and obtain a key by email in a single call.
Extracted pages can be HTML, plain text, JSON, or Markdown. PDFs, Office documents, images, audio, and video are not supported. The docs note that returned page content should be treated as untrusted data rather than instructions.
Key features
- 01Real-time general web search with a configurable result count.
- 02Vertical domain search for targeted queries.
- 03Parallel batch search across multiple queries in one call.
- 04Full-page content extraction returned as Markdown.
- 05CLI clients available in Python, Node.js, PowerShell, and Bash.
- 06Optional API key with anonymous access as fallback.
Use cases
- Giving a coding or research agent up-to-date web information beyond its training data.
- Running several related queries in parallel to gather sources quickly.
- Pulling the text of a web article into an agent's context for summarization.
- Adding search capability to an agent platform such as Claude Code, OpenCode, or Cursor.
