Scavio for Self-Hosted Agent Search Stack

The Problem

Privacy-first teams running local LLMs (Qwen, Hermes Agent) need search grounding without sending queries to external services. Self-hosted SearXNG provides private search but requires infrastructure management and faces rate limiting from upstream sources.

How Scavio Helps

• Complete query privacy with SearXNG self-hosting
• Docker Compose deployment with Hermes Agent + Qwen
• Managed API fallback when self-hosted search is rate-limited
• Side-by-side quality comparison between self-hosted and managed results
• No query logs sent to external services in primary mode

Relevant Platforms

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "A team deploys SearXNG + Hermes Agent + Qwen 3.5 35B via Docker Compose. All search queries stay local. When SearXNG gets rate-limited by upstream engines (common after 100+ daily queries), the stack falls back to Scavio API for reliability. 80% of queries served privately, 20% via managed API during rate-limit windows.":

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 Privacy-focused teams, self-hosted LLM operators, Hermes Agent users, organizations with data sovereignty requirements

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