What is Haystack?
End-to-end NLP framework for building search, RAG, and question answering pipelines. Developed by deepset.
Searching Apple App Store with Haystack
This integration lets your Haystack agent search Apple App Store in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with app listing URLs, listing titles, SERP snippets (rating, category, price as text) -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install scavio-haystackCode Example
Here is a complete Haystack agent that searches Apple App Store using Scavio:
Python
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
from haystack_integrations.components.websearch.scavio import ScavioWebSearch
# export SCAVIO_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key
web_search = ScavioWebSearch(top_k=5)
results = web_search.run(query="site:apps.apple.com best productivity app")
context = "\n".join(doc.content for doc in results["documents"])
generator = OpenAIGenerator(model="gpt-5.5")
response = generator.run(
prompt="Summarise these search results:\n" + context
)
print(response["replies"][0])Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Python
from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
from haystack_integrations.components.websearch.scavio import ScavioWebSearch
# export SCAVIO_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key
template = """
Based on these web search results, answer the question.
{% for doc in documents %}{{ doc.content }}
{% endfor %}
Question: {{ query }}
Answer:
"""
pipe = Pipeline()
pipe.add_component("search", ScavioWebSearch(top_k=5))
pipe.add_component("prompt_builder", PromptBuilder(template=template))
pipe.add_component("llm", OpenAIGenerator(model="gpt-5.5"))
pipe.connect("search.documents", "prompt_builder.documents")
pipe.connect("prompt_builder", "llm")
query = "site:apps.apple.com best productivity app"
result = pipe.run({"search": {"query": query}, "prompt_builder": {"query": query}})
print(result["llm"]["replies"][0])Pricing
