What is smolagents?
Hugging Face's lightweight framework for building AI agents. Minimal, code-first approach to agent development.
Searching Apple App Store with smolagents
This integration lets your smolagents 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 smolagents requestsCode Example
Here is a complete smolagents agent that searches Apple App Store using Scavio:
Python
from smolagents import tool, CodeAgent, HfApiModel
import json
import os
import requests
# Scavio has no App Store endpoint. This searches apps.apple.com listing pages through Google - ratings and prices appear in the snippet text, not as structured fields.
@tool
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Query Apple App Store 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("site:apps.apple.com best productivity app")
print(result)Full Working Example
