Tavily API integration with managed API key authentication. Perform AI-powered web search, extract content from URLs, crawl websites, map site structure, and run research tasks.

Use this skill when users want to search the web, extract page content, crawl websites, discover URLs, or conduct in-depth research with citations.

For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

# Tavily

Access the Tavily API with managed API key authentication. Perform AI-powered web searches, extract content from URLs, crawl websites, map site structure, and run in-depth research tasks.

Quick Start

# Search the web
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({"query": "latest AI news", "max_results": 5}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/tavily/search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/tavily/{endpoint}

Replace `{endpoint}` with the Tavily API endpoint (`search`, `extract`, `crawl`, `map`, `research`). The gateway proxies requests to `api.tavily.com` and automatically injects your API key.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Tavily API key connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=tavily&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'tavily', 'method': 'API_KEY'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Open the returned `url` in a browser to enter your Tavily API key.

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Tavily connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({"query": "AI news"}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/tavily/search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Search with answer
const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/tavily/search', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: 'latest AI news',
    max_results: 5,
    include_answer: true
  })
});
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

# Search with answer
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/tavily/search',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={
        'query': 'latest AI news',
        'max_results': 5,
        'include_answer': True
    }
)
data = response.json()

Notes

Search endpoints return AI-generated answers when `include_answer` is enabled

Map returns URLs only; Crawl returns URLs with extracted content

Using `instructions` parameter in crawl/map doubles the credit cost

Research tasks are async - poll with GET to check status

Research models: `mini` (fast/efficient), `pro` (comprehensive)

IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Tavily connection or invalid request |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 429 | Rate limit exceeded |

| 432 | Plan limit exceeded |

| 433 | Pay-as-you-go limit exceeded |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Tavily API |
