What is Claude Tool Use?
Anthropic's Claude API with tool use for building AI assistants that can call external APIs and functions.
Searching Google SERP Ads with Claude Tool Use
This integration lets your Claude Tool Use agent search Google SERP Ads in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with top_ads, bottom_ads, ad headlines, destination URLs -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install anthropic requestsCode Example
Here is a complete Claude Tool Use agent that searches Google SERP Ads using Scavio:
Python
import anthropic
import json
import os
import requests
# This page has no dedicated endpoint yet, so the sample runs a Google web search.
client = anthropic.Anthropic()
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Query Google SERP Ads through the Scavio API (POST /api/v2/google)."""
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google",
headers={
"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["SCAVIO_API_KEY"],
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
return json.dumps(response.json())
tools = [{
"name": "scavio_search",
"description": "Query Google SERP Ads for real-time results",
"input_schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}},
"required": ["query"],
},
}]
response = client.messages.create(
model="claude-sonnet-4-5",
max_tokens=4096,
tools=tools,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "project management software"}],
)
for block in response.content:
if block.type == "tool_use":
print(scavio_search(block.input["query"])[:500])
elif block.type == "text":
print(block.text)Full Working Example
