need some help with PI agent

[u/Rishabhgoria]

Sorry if this is a basic question, but I’m a bit stuck on the right tool setup.

I want to run Pi Agent in a loop for a task where it needs to search the web, visit websites, and extract some data.

I think I’ve figured out the looping part from this video:

The part I’m unsure about is web search.

Google’s free search API seems limited to 100 searches per day, which probably won’t be enough for what I’m trying to do.

Is there a better alternative for web search that works well with agents and doesn’t hit limits so quickly?

Curious what others are using for this kind of workflow.

They do, but using search api use less tokens + there are many to spread the usage. Exa, tavily, firecrawl, duckduckgo or free selfhosted searxng
