What is Vercel AI SDK?
TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications with React Server Components, streaming, and tool calling.
Searching LinkedIn with Vercel AI SDK
This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK agent search LinkedIn in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with job listings, company names, locations, posted dates -- 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 LinkedIn using Scavio:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// There is no LinkedIn people or post search: LinkedIn retired it upstream. This finds LinkedIn pages through Google. For structured data call POST /api/v1/linkedin/person, /company or /post with a LinkedIn URL, or /api/v1/linkedin/search/jobs for keyword job search.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query LinkedIn 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:linkedin.com/in AI engineer San Francisco",
});
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";
// There is no LinkedIn people or post search: LinkedIn retired it upstream. This finds LinkedIn pages through Google. For structured data call POST /api/v1/linkedin/person, /company or /post with a LinkedIn URL, or /api/v1/linkedin/search/jobs for keyword job search.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
maxSteps: 5,
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query LinkedIn 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",

});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "site:linkedin.com/in AI engineer San Francisco",
});
console.log(result.text);Pricing
