Local Web Search (local-160)

Use the local Responses API with web_search to get web results and citations.

Quick start

  1. Ensure env vars are set or Keychain entries are configured (see references/CONFIG.md).
  2. Run the script:
/usr/bin/python3 {baseDir}/scripts/local_web_search.py --query "<your query>" --mode live

Optional (explicit .env path):

/usr/bin/python3 {baseDir}/scripts/local_web_search.py \
  --env-file ~/.openclaw/workspace/.env \
  --query "<your query>" \
  --mode cached

Timeout default is 1200s. Override via --timeout or LOCAL_160_TIMEOUT. Note: web_search responses can be slow; 5–10 minutes is common and up to ~20 minutes is possible. Don’t treat it as failure unless it exceeds your timeout.

Output handling

  • Default output: one-sentence summary + up to 5 citations.
  • Use --json when you need full tool output for parsing.
  • Use --mode live|cached|disabled to control external web access.

When to use

  • For web lookups when local-160 supports web_search.
  • For scheduled news monitoring that should use local-160 search.

Troubleshooting

  • 401/403: key missing/invalid.
  • 5xx: local gateway down or base URL wrong.
