What is Vercel AI SDK?
TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications with React Server Components, streaming, and tool calling.
Searching Shopify with Vercel AI SDK
This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK agent search Shopify in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with store URLs, product page URLs, page titles, SERP snippets (price and stock text when Google shows it) -- 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 Shopify using Scavio:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// Scavio has no Shopify endpoint. This finds storefront pages through Google; prices and variants come from the pages you then fetch yourself.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Shopify 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:myshopify.com leather wallet",
});
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 Shopify endpoint. This finds storefront pages through Google; prices and variants come from the pages you then fetch yourself.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
maxSteps: 5,
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Shopify 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:myshopify.com leather wallet",
});
console.log(result.text);Pricing
