brave-shim

Local proxy that makes OpenClaw's Brave Search provider route to DuckDuckGo for free, without any API key.

How it works

  1. A Python FastAPI service (brave_shim) runs locally on http://127.0.0.1:8000
  2. It implements the Brave Search API format but fetches results from DuckDuckGo via ddgs
  3. OpenClaw's built-in Brave provider is redirected to this local service

Setup

1. Install brave_shim
