clawhub install webserp📖 About This Skill
name: webserp description: Web search across 7 engines in parallel with browser impersonation. Use when the agent needs current information from the web — news, documentation, recent events, or anything beyond training data. Returns structured JSON (SearXNG-compatible) with title, URL, and content. Uses curl_cffi to mimic real browser fingerprints so requests don't get blocked. Install with
pip install webserp. No API keys needed.
webserp
Metasearch CLI — queries Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Yahoo, Mojeek, Startpage, and Presearch in parallel. Uses curl_cffi for browser impersonation. Results like a browser, speed like an API.
When to use webserp
1. You need current/recent information not in your training data 2. You need to verify facts or find sources 3. You need to discover URLs, documentation, or code repositories 4. The user asks about recent events, releases, or news
Install
pip install webserp
No API keys, no configuration. Just install and search.
Usage
# Search all 7 engines (default)
webserp "how to deploy docker containers"Search specific engines
webserp "python async tutorial" --engines google,brave,duckduckgoLimit results per engine
webserp "rust vs go" --max-results 5Show which engines succeeded/failed
webserp "test query" --verboseSet per-engine timeout
webserp "query" --timeout 15Use a proxy
webserp "query" --proxy "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"
Options
| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| -e, --engines | Comma-separated engine list | all |
| -n, --max-results | Max results per engine | 10 |
| --timeout | Per-engine timeout (seconds) | 10 |
| --proxy | Proxy URL for all requests | none |
| --verbose | Show engine status in stderr | false |
Output format
JSON to stdout (SearXNG-compatible):
{
"query": "deployment issue",
"number_of_results": 42,
"results": [
{
"title": "How to fix Docker deployment issues",
"url": "https://example.com/docker-fix",
"content": "Common Docker deployment problems and solutions...",
"engine": "google"
}
],
"suggestions": [],
"unresponsive_engines": []
}
Parse with jq or any JSON parser. The results array contains title, url, content, and engine for each result. unresponsive_engines lists any engines that failed with the error reason.
Tips
--max-results 5 to keep output concise when you just need a few links--engines google,brave to target specific engines for faster results--verbose (writes to stderr) to see which engines responded — the JSON on stdout is unaffected💡 Examples
