What is smolagents?
Hugging Face's lightweight framework for building AI agents. Minimal, code-first approach to agent development.
Searching Meta Ad Library with smolagents
This integration lets your smolagents agent search Meta Ad Library in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with ad creatives, page_name and page_id, start_date and end_date, publisher_platform -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install smolagents requestsCode Example
Here is a complete smolagents agent that searches Meta Ad Library 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 Meta Ad Library 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("notion")
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 Meta Ad Library 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("notion")
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.
