The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Google Search API
Google's own search results as clean JSON — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid
as you go. Google's search operators pass straight through: site:,
filetype:, intitle:, and quoted exact phrases all work exactly as they do
in the browser. No Custom Search Engine setup, no per-day query quota, no
billing account.
Base URL: https://google.fetcher.sh
Authentication
Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher
skill:
# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
# or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search?query=hello"
# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
# with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
# Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.
Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the
HTTP status mirrors status.
Endpoint ($0.005/call)
| Endpoint | What it returns |
|---|---|
/api/search | Google web search results for a query |
Required: query. Optional: safe (SafeSearch), page (pagination), hl
(UI language, e.g. en), country (region scope), count (results per
page — currently 10), noEncode (skip query re-encoding for pre-formatted
operator strings).
Scenarios
Restrict to one site:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=site:github.com x402 payments" -G \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search"
PDFs only:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=agentic commerce filetype:pdf" -G \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search"
Exact phrase:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode 'query="pay per call api"' -G \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search"
Localized results (UK, French UI) and pagination:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=agentic commerce" -G \
--data-urlencode "country=GB" \
--data-urlencode "hl=fr" \
--data-urlencode "page=2" \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search"
Combine operators — title match plus site restriction:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=intitle:pricing site:x402.org" -G \
"https://google.fetcher.sh/api/search"

Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog.
