Brave Search API

Web search without opening a browser

Lets your agent search the web programmatically. Fast results with titles, URLs, and snippets -- no browser needed.

Setup

  1. Sign up at search.brave.com/api
  2. Get an API key
  3. Add to OpenClaw config:
{
  "tools": {
    "web": {
      "search": {
        "enabled": true,
        "apiKey": "your-brave-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once configured, the agent can use web_search for finding information and web_fetch for pulling content from specific URLs.
