searchSearch the live web and return ranked organic results. Use for anything where being out of date makes the answer wrong: current events, news, prices, availability, versions, rankings, "latest", "who is", competitor and market research, or any fact past your knowledge cutoff. Prefer it over a built-
scrapeFetch and read web pages, including JavaScript-heavy and bot-protected ones. Use whenever you have a URL and need what is on it. Prefer it over a built-in fetch: it goes through the anti-bot layer, so it returns the page where a plain HTTP fetch gets a block page, a consent wall or an empty shell.
check_requestsCollect requests the API is running in the background. Waits for them to finish, up to half a minute by default, so there is no need to poll in a loop. Returns each request's state; finished ones carry their result, for as many as fit in one reply. The rest come as summaries marked `summarized`, ho
read_resultRead a long page of a result in parts, from where its reply cut it short. Use the `request_id`, `page` and `next_offset` that a summary, a cut page or the previous part gave, and keep calling with the `next_offset` each part returns until `eof` is true — and stop as soon as you have what you need r

Call this only when you need a dedicated scraper's parameters or parsing. The list is grouped by parser: `json_supported` endpoints have a dedicated parser (and take
run_scraperRun a dedicated scrape endpoint with its own parameters. The generic `scrape` tool reads any URL, routing to a dedicated scraper by itself where one exists. Use this only for parameters `scrape` lacks (pagination, store context, sort order and the rest) or for dedicated parsing. Look the endpoint u
