What is smolagents?
Hugging Face's lightweight framework for building AI agents. Minimal, code-first approach to agent development.
Searching Airbnb with smolagents
This integration lets your smolagents agent search Airbnb in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with listing_id and name, price (search only), rating and review_count, beds, baths, bedrooms -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install smolagents requestsCode Example
Here is a complete smolagents agent that searches Airbnb using Scavio:
Python
from smolagents import tool, CodeAgent, HfApiModel
import json
import os
import requests
# This page has no dedicated endpoint yet, so the sample runs a Google web search.
@tool
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Query Airbnb through the Scavio API (POST /api/v2/google).
Args:
query: What to look for.
"""
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())
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[scavio_search], model=HfApiModel())
result = agent.run("Austin, TX")
print(result)Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Python
from smolagents import tool, CodeAgent, HfApiModel
import json
import os
import requests
# This page has no dedicated endpoint yet, so the sample runs a Google web search.
@tool
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Query Airbnb through the Scavio API (POST /api/v2/google).
Args:
query: What to look for.
"""
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())
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[scavio_search], model=HfApiModel())
result = agent.run("Austin, TX")
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 smolagents integration. Paid plans start from $24/mo billed yearly for higher volumes.
