Build production-ready Tavily integrations with best practices baked in. Reference documentation for developers using coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to implement web search, content extraction, crawling, and research in agentic workflows, RAG systems, or autonomous agents.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Tavily
Tavily is a search API designed for LLMs, enabling AI applications to access real-time web data.
## Installation
**Python:**
```bash
pip install tavily-python
```
**JavaScript:**
```bash
npm install @tavily/core
```
See **[references/sdk.md](references/sdk.md)** for complete SDK reference.
## Client Initialization
```python
from tavily import TavilyClient
# Uses TAVILY_API_KEY env var (recommended)
client = TavilyClient()
#With project tracking (for usage organization)
client = TavilyClient(project_id="your-project-id")
# Async client for parallel queries
from tavily import AsyncTavilyClient
async_client = AsyncTavilyClient()
```
## Choosing the Right Method
**For custom agents/workflows:**
| Need | Method |
|------|--------|
| Web search results | `search()` |
| Content from specific URLs | `extract()` |
| Content from entire site | `crawl()` |
| URL discovery from site | `map()` |
**For out-of-the-box research:**
| Need | Method |
|------|--------|
| End-to-end research with AI synthesis | `research()` |
## Quick Reference
### search() - Web Search
```python
response = client.search(
query="quantum computing breakthroughs", # Keep under 400 chars

How to install
mdr add ethanyoq/skill-hub/tavily-best-practices@sha256:8972384d52e22c76The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.e8b19bf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
