The Problem
LangChain RAG agents return low-quality answers when the vector store does not contain relevant documents. Without a web search fallback, the agent either hallucinates or says it does not know -- both bad user experiences.
How Scavio Helps
- Conditional search: only call the API when vector store confidence drops below threshold
- LangChain Tool integration with automatic query reformulation
- Returns structured results the chain can cite with source URLs
- Reduces hallucination on out-of-domain queries
- Cost: $0.005/search, only triggered on low-confidence retrievals

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "langchain rag fallback web search tool":
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 LangChain developers maintaining production RAG applications that need improved recall
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your live search in langchain rag pipeline solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
