What is Vercel AI SDK?
TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications with React Server Components, streaming, and tool calling.
Searching Apple App Store with Vercel AI SDK
This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK 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
npm install ai @ai-sdk/anthropic zodCode Example
Here is a complete Vercel AI SDK agent that searches Apple App Store using Scavio:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// 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.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Apple App Store for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "site:apps.apple.com best productivity app",
});
console.log(result.text);Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// 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.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
maxSteps: 5,
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Apple App Store for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "site:apps.apple.com best productivity app",
});
console.log(result.text);Pricing
