What is smolagents?
Hugging Face's lightweight framework for building AI agents. Minimal, code-first approach to agent development.
Searching X (Twitter) with smolagents
This integration lets your smolagents agent search X (Twitter) in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with post snippets, author handles, timestamps, engagement signals — ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install smolagents requestsCode Example
Here is a complete smolagents agent that searches X (Twitter) using Scavio:
Python
from smolagents import tool, CodeAgent, HfApiModel
import requests
import json
@tool
def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Search X (Twitter) for real-time results using Scavio API."""
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())
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[scavio_search], model=HfApiModel())
result = agent.run("site:x.com AI agents 2026")
print(result)Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Python

def scavio_search(query: str) -> str:
"""Search X (Twitter) for real-time results using Scavio API."""
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())
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[scavio_search], model=HfApiModel())
result = agent.run("site:x.com AI agents 2026")
print(result)Pricing
