Search some text with the Qwant search engine (no token required).

[tinmarino]

Qwant is a French search engine, free without any tracking. Similar to DuckDuckGo. The advantage is that there is no token to create. This function call can help putting the LLM fastly uptodate with specific news. I finally hardcoded the page to return to 10 and language to english.

Code

from instructor import OpenAISchema  # Superclass
from pydantic import Field  # Used by ShellGPT to anotate code

import requests  # HTTP GET
from urllib.parse import quote  # urlencode text

class Function(OpenAISchema):
    """ Search web pages with the Qwant search engine
    Make queries like the following
    -- 	https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=example+text&count=10&locale=es_CL&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=3&safesearch=1&displayed=true
    """
    s_text: str = Field(
        ...,
        example="Charlie Chaplin movie list",
        description="Query text to send to the search engine.",
    )

    class Config:
        title = "search_with_qwant_search_engine"

    @classmethod
    def execute(cls, s_text: str, i_page_number: int = 10, s_locale: str ="en_us") -> str:
        s_text = quote(s_text)
        s_url = f'https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q={s_text}&count={i_page_number}&locale={s_locale}'
        d_header = {
            'User-Agent': 'ShellGPT',
            'Accept': 'application/json',
        }
        response = requests.get(s_url, headers=d_header)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            return response.text
        else:
            return f"Error: Failed to download the web page. Status code: {response.status_code}"
