Brave Search API

Clawdia uses Brave Search as the default provider for web_search.

​
Get an API key

  1. Create a Brave Search API account at https://brave.com/search/api/
  2. In the dashboard, choose the Data for Search plan and generate an API key.
  3. Store the key in config (recommended) or set BRAVE_API_KEY in the Gateway environment.

​
Config example

{
  tools: {
    web: {
      search: {
        provider: "brave",
        apiKey: "BRAVE_API_KEY_HERE",
        maxResults: 5,
        timeoutSeconds: 30
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

  • The Data for AI plan is not compatible with web_search.
  • Brave provides a free tier plus paid plans; check the Brave API portal for current limits.
