LLMs have a knowledge cutoff date. Without web access, they cannot answer about current events, prices, or recent news.

The Solution: Web Search Integration

Add Keiro API to give your chatbot real-time web access:

import requests

def search_web(query: str):
    response = requests.post(
        "https://kierolabs.space/api/search-pro",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={
            "query": query,
            "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
            "top_n": 5
        },
        timeout=15
    )

    data = response.json()
    return data.get("data", {}).get("extracted_content", [])
