Environment Variables

Before using this skill, ensure the following environment variable are set:

  • INFOQUEST_API_KEY: API key for the web search, image search and content extraction service

Web Search

python3 scripts/search.py "query"
python3 scripts/search.py "query" -d 7
python3 scripts/search.py "query" -s github.com

Image Search

python3 scripts/search.py "query" -i
python3 scripts/search.py "query" -i -z l
python3 scripts/search.py "query" -i -s unsplash.com -d 30

Options

  • -d, --days <number>: Search within last N days (default: all time)
  • -s, --site <domain>: Search within specific site (e.g., github.com, unsplash.com)
  • -i, --image: Perform image search (default: web search)
  • -z, --image-size <size>: Image size filter: l (large), m (medium), i (icon)

Extract content from URL

python3 scripts/extract.py "https://example.com/article"

Examples

Recent News Search

# Search for AI news from last 3 days
python3 scripts/search.py "artificial intelligence news" -d 3

Site-Specific Research

# Search for Python projects on GitHub
python3 scripts/search.py "Python machine learning" -s github.com

Image Search Examples

# Search for cat images
python3 scripts/search.py "cat" -i

# Search for large landscape images
python3 scripts/search.py "landscape" -i -z l

# Search for icons from specific site
python3 scripts/search.py "logo" -i -z i -s github.com

# Search for recent images
python3 scripts/search.py "sunset" -i -d 7

Content Extraction

# Extract content from a single article
python3 scripts/extract.py "https://example.com/article"

Notes

API Access

Search Features

  • Time Filtering: Use -d for searches within last N days (e.g., -d 7)
  • Site Filtering: Use -s for site-specific searches (e.g., -s github.com)
  • Image Search: Use -i for image search, with optional size filtering (-z)
  • Image Size Options: l (large), m (medium), i (icon)

Image Search Usage

Image search returns URLs to images that can be used as reference for image generation. Each result includes:

  • title: Image title or description
  • image_url: Direct URL to the image

Usage hint: Use the image_url values as reference images in image generation. Download them first if needed.

Quick Setup

  1. Set API key:

    export INFOQUEST_API_KEY=<REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY>

  2. Install required Python packages:

    pip install requests

  3. Test the setup:

    # Test web search
python3 scripts/search.py "test search"

# Test image search
python3 scripts/search.py "test" -i

Error Handling

The API returns error messages starting with "Error:" for:

  • Authentication failures
  • Network timeouts
  • Empty responses
  • Invalid response formats
  • Invalid image size parameters (must be 'l', 'm', or 'i')

Differences from Node.js Version

  • Python 3.6+ required
  • requests library used instead of fetch
  • Simplified argument parsing using argparse
  • Same functionality and API endpoints

How to use this skill

1

Install byted-byteplus-infoquest-search by running npx skills add bytedance/agentkit-samples --skill byted-byteplus-infoquest-search in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of byted-byteplus-infoquest-search, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
