What is Semantic Kernel?
Microsoft's SDK for integrating LLMs into applications. Supports plugins, planners, and memory for building AI agents.
Searching Shopify with Semantic Kernel
This integration lets your Semantic Kernel agent search Shopify in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with store URLs, product page URLs, page titles, SERP snippets (price and stock text when Google shows it) -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install semantic-kernel requestsCode Example
Here is a complete Semantic Kernel agent that searches Shopify using Scavio:
Text
import semantic_kernel as sk
from semantic_kernel.functions import kernel_function
import json
import os
import requests
# Scavio has no Shopify endpoint. This finds storefront pages through Google; prices and variants come from the pages you then fetch yourself.
class ScavioPlugin:
@kernel_function(description="Query Shopify using Scavio")
def search(self, query: str) -> str:
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())
kernel = sk.Kernel()
kernel.add_plugin(ScavioPlugin(), "scavio")Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Text
import semantic_kernel as sk
from semantic_kernel.functions import kernel_function
import json
import os
import requests
# Scavio has no Shopify endpoint. This finds storefront pages through Google; prices and variants come from the pages you then fetch yourself.
class ScavioPlugin:
@kernel_function(description="Query Shopify using Scavio")
def search(self, query: str) -> str:
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())
kernel = sk.Kernel()
kernel.add_plugin(ScavioPlugin(), "scavio")
result = await kernel.invoke("scavio", "search", query="site:myshopify.com leather wallet")
print(result)Pricing
Scavio offers a free tier with 50 credits on signup (1 credit per search). No credit card required. This is enough to build and test your Semantic Kernel integration. Paid plans start at $30/month for higher volumes.
