# Linkup Search Tool
## Description
The `LinkupSearchTool` is a tool designed for integration with the CrewAI framework. It provides the ability to query the Linkup API for contextual information and retrieve structured results. This tool is ideal for enriching workflows with up-to-date and reliable information from Linkup.
---
## Features
- Perform API queries to the Linkup platform using customizable parameters (`query`, `depth`, `output_type`).
- Gracefully handles API errors and provides structured feedback.
- Returns well-structured results for seamless integration into CrewAI processes.
---
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Linkup API Key
### Steps
1. ```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
2. Create a `.env` file in your project root and add your Linkup API Key:
```plaintext
LINKUP_API_KEY=your_linkup_api_key
```
---
## Usage
### Basic Example
Here is how to use the `LinkupSearchTool` in a CrewAI project:
1. **Import and Initialize**:
```python
from tools.linkup_tools import LinkupSearchTool
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
linkup_tool = LinkupSearchTool(api_key=os.getenv("LINKUP_API_KEY"))
```
2. **Set Up an Agent and Task**:
```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
# Define the agent
research_agent = Agent(
role="Information Researcher",
goal="Fetch relevant results from Linkup.",
backstory="An expert in online information retrieval...",
tools=[linkup_tool],
verbose=True
)
# Define the task
search_task = Task(
expected_output="A detailed list of Nobel Prize-winning women in physics with their achievements.",
description="Search for women who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics.",
agent=research_agent
)
# Create and run the crew
crew = Crew(
agents=[research_agent],
tasks=[search_task]
)
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)
```
### Advanced Configuration
You can customize the parameters for the `LinkupSearchTool`:
- `query`: The search term or phrase.
- `depth`: The search depth (`"standard"` by default).
- `output_type`: The type of output (`"searchResults"` by default).
Example:
```python
response = linkup_tool._run(
query="Women Nobel Prize Physics",
depth="standard",
output_type="searchResults"
)
```
