Zhipu Web Search

Use Zhipu's web search API to search the internet.

⚠️ Security Requirements

This skill requires ZHIPU_API_KEY environment variable to be set before use.

Security Best Practices:

DO NOT store API keys in ~/.bashrc - keys can be leaked
DO NOT source shell configuration files - prevents arbitrary code execution
Set environment variable directly when running the script
Be aware API key will be visible in process list (ps aux)

Setup

bash

# Set API key as environment variable
export ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Get your API key from: https://www.bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys

Usage

Quick Search

bash

export ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_key"

curl -s -X POST "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZHIPU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "glm-4-flash",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "搜索: YOUR_QUERY"}],
    "tools": [{"type": "web_search", "web_search": {"search_query": "YOUR_QUERY"}}]
  }' | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content'

Using the Script

bash

export ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_key"
./search.sh "搜索内容"

Security Analysis

✅ What's Safe:

No sourcing of ~/.bashrc or shell config files
Uses jq for JSON escaping (prevents injection)
Uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2+
API key via environment variable (not hardcoded)
Proper error handling - sensitive info not leaked
Input validation (query length limit)
Generic error messages (no path/file hints)

⚠️ Considerations:

Process list visibility: API key visible in ps aux
Use in trusted environments only
Endpoint: https://open.bigmodel.cn (official Zhipu API)

Safety Features

Feature	Implementation
JSON escaping	jq --arg prevents injection
Input validation	Query length ≤500 chars
TLS	Force TLS 1.2+
Error handling	Generic messages, no leaks
Timeout	30 second curl timeout

When to Use

User says "search for", "look up", "find information about"
User asks "what's the latest news about"
User needs current information from the web
