Scavio for Pi Agent Search Provider Routing

The Problem

Coding agents like Pi hardcode a single search provider. When that provider has downtime or rate limits, the agent cannot search at all. Different providers also excel at different query types: Scavio handles Reddit natively, SearxNG is free but unreliable, Tavily is established but costs $0.008/credit.

How Scavio Helps

• Provider abstraction eliminates vendor lock-in
• Automatic failover within 2 seconds of provider failure
• Route Reddit queries to Scavio (native platform support)
• Cost optimization: Scavio $0.005 vs Tavily $0.008 per credit
• Health check pings detect provider issues proactively

Relevant Platforms

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "Pi agent needs to search for 'Python async best practices'. Primary: Scavio ($0.005). Scavio timeout after 5s. Failover to Tavily ($0.008). Results returned in 7s total. User sees no degradation. Reddit-specific query routes directly to Scavio Reddit endpoint.":

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 Coding agent developers, AI tool builders, teams using Pi or similar coding assistants, developers who need search reliability

Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your pi agent search provider routing solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
