The Problem
Bolt.new ships the same placeholder-data problem as every other vibe-coding tool: perfect UI, fake data. Founders can build a slick app in ten minutes but stall the moment they need a real backend for search or product data.
The Scavio Solution
Add SCAVIO_API_KEY to Bolt.new secrets, then swap any hardcoded array for a fetch to the Scavio search endpoint. The rest of the Bolt app binds cleanly to the returned JSON. You get a live search layer without standing up a backend.
Before
Mock data arrays, search has no real behavior, app breaks on first user input.
After
Real search across Google, Amazon, YouTube, Walmart, Reddit with one env var.
Who It Is For
Builders vibe-coding MVPs on Bolt.new who want to ship demos with real data.
Key Benefits
- Zero backend code needed
- Fits into any Bolt.new component that expects a list
- One vendor for five platforms
- Works inside Bolt's built-in secrets manager
- Free tier keeps prototype costs at zero
Python Example
# Bolt.new uses Node by default; Python example shown for reference only
import requests
r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search',
headers={'x-api-key': 'sk_...'},
json={'query': 'hello'})
print(r.json())JavaScript Example
export async function search(query) {
const r = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'x-api-key': import.meta.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
'content-type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});
return (await r.json()).organic_results ?? [];
