What is OpenAI Assistants?
OpenAI's API for building AI assistants with function calling, code interpreter, and file search capabilities.
Searching Google with OpenAI Assistants
This integration lets your OpenAI Assistants agent search Google in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with organic results, knowledge graph, People Also Ask, AI overview — ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install openai requestsCode Example
Here is a complete OpenAI Assistants agent that searches Google using Scavio:
Python
from openai import OpenAI
import requests
import json
client = OpenAI()
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={"x-api-key": "your_scavio_api_key", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
json={"query": query},
)
return json.dumps(response.json())
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4o",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "best noise cancelling headphones 2026"}],
tools=[{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "scavio_search",
"description": "Search Google for real-time results",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}},
"required": ["query"],
},
},
}],
)
# Handle tool calls
for tool_call in response.choices[0].message.tool_calls or []:
result = scavio_search(json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments)["query"])
print(result[:500])Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Python
from openai import OpenAI
import requests
import json
client = OpenAI()
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={"x-api-key": "your_scavio_api_key", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
json={"query": query},
)
return json.dumps(response.json())
tools = [{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "scavio_search",
"description": "Search Google for real-time results",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}},
"required": ["query"],
},
},
}]
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "best noise cancelling headphones 2026"}]
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", messages=messages, tools=tools)
if response.choices[0].message.tool_calls:
messages.append(response.choices[0].message)
for tc in response.choices[0].message.tool_calls:
result = scavio_search(json.loads(tc.function.arguments)["query"])
messages.append({"role": "tool", "tool_call_id": tc.id, "content": result})
final = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", messages=messages)
print(final.choices[0].message.content)Pricing
Scavio offers a free tier with 500 credits/month (1 credit per search). No credit card required. This is enough to build and test your OpenAI Assistants integration. Paid plans start at $30/month for higher volumes.
