Google Search (SERP)

Search the web through AceDataCloud's Google SERP API.

First-time setup

1. Already installed from skills.sh? Continue at step 2. For a coding agent, install with npx skills add acedatacloud/skills --skill google-search --yes (installation and first run). For OpenClaw, use clawhub install @acedatacloud/google-search and check that the ClawHub publisher is @acedatacloud.
2. Sign in at AceDataCloud → Applications, open General application, and check Google Search access, balance, and current pricing. Copy its API key, or select Manage Keys → Create for a separate key. Copy the key value without Bearer ; a platform-... management token is not a service API key.
3. If you enable Allowed APIs restrictions, include /serp/google. Advanced workflows below may call additional routes.
4. For a coding agent or direct command, export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_api_key_here" in the environment of the process that runs the Skill; project .env loading is agent-specific. For OpenClaw, put ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=your_api_key_here in ~/.openclaw/.env on the Gateway host, then restart the Gateway and start a new session. Never put the key in a prompt or commit an .env file.
5. Run the Quick Start below. If this workflow returns a task ID, query that same task until it finishes; do not submit the same billable request again just to check progress.
