Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Firebase Genkit search grounding tool API integration 2026":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for Firebase Genkit developers, Node.js and Go engineers building AI features, and teams avoiding Vertex AI overhead
