- Web search: point missing-key errors to `web_fetch` for known URLs and the browser tool for interactive pages. Thanks @zhaoyang97.
- Web search: late-bind managed agent `web_search` calls to the current runtime config snapshot, so existing sessions do not keep stale unresolved SecretRefs after secrets reload. Fixes #75420. Thanks @richardmqq.
- Web search: honor `baseUrl` overrides for Gemini, Grok, and x_search provider-owned config, so proxy-backed search tools no longer dial hardcoded public endpoints. Supersedes #61972. Thanks @Lanfei.
- Web search/Brave: point Brave provider metadata at the canonical `/tools/brave-search` docs page. Fixes #65870 and supersedes #65892. Thanks @Magicray1217 and @Jah-yee.
- Web search/Brave: point Brave provider metadata at the canonical `/tools/brave-search` docs page and make the legacy `/brave-search` docs page a redirect stub. Fixes #65870 and supersedes #65892. Thanks @Magicray1217 and @Jah-yee.
- Web search/Brave: allow `freshness` and bounded date ranges in `llm-context` mode, matching Brave's documented LLM Context API support. Supersedes #51005. Thanks @remusao.
- Web fetch: resolve external plugin `webFetchProviders` for non-sandboxed `web_fetch`, while keeping sandboxed fetches limited to bundled providers. Fixes #74915. Thanks @ultrahighsuper and @mingmingtsao.
- Heartbeat: strip legacy `[TOOL_CALL]...[/TOOL_CALL]` and `[TOOL_RESULT]...[/TOOL_RESULT]` pseudo-call blocks from heartbeat replies before channel delivery. Fixes #54138. Thanks @Deniable9570.

# Brave Search API
OpenClaw supports Brave Search API as a `web_search` provider.
## Get an API key
1. Create a Brave Search API account at [https://brave.com/search/api/](https://brave.com/search/api/)
2. In the dashboard, choose the **Search** plan and generate an API key.
3. Store the key in config or set `BRAVE_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment.
## Config example
```json5
{
plugins: {
entries: {
brave: {
config: {
webSearch: {
apiKey: "BRAVE_API_KEY_HERE",
mode: "web", // or "llm-context"
},
},
},
},
},
tools: {
web: {
search: {
provider: "brave",
maxResults: 5,
timeoutSeconds: 30,
},
},
},
}
```
Provider-specific Brave search settings now live under `plugins.entries.brave.config.webSearch.*`.
Legacy `tools.web.search.apiKey` still loads through the compatibility shim, but it is no longer the canonical config path.
`webSearch.mode` controls the Brave transport:
- `web` (default): normal Brave web search with titles, URLs, and snippets
- `llm-context`: Brave LLM Context API with pre-extracted text chunks and sources for grounding
## Tool parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `query` | Search query (required) |
| `count` | Number of results to return (1-10, default: 5) |
| `country` | 2-letter ISO country code (e.g., "US", "DE") |
| `language` | ISO 639-1 language code for search results (e.g., "en", "de", "fr") |
| `search_lang` | Brave search-language code (e.g., `en`, `en-gb`, `zh-hans`) |
| `ui_lang` | ISO language code for UI elements |
| `freshness` | Time filter: `day` (24h), `week`, `month`, or `year` |
| `date_after` | Only results published after this date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `date_before` | Only results published before this date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
**Examples:**
```javascript
// Country and language-specific search
await web_search({
query: "renewable energy",
country: "DE",
language: "de",
});
// Recent results (past week)
await web_search({
query: "AI news",
freshness: "week",
});
// Date range search
await web_search({
query: "AI developments",
date_after: "2024-01-01",
date_before: "2024-06-30",
});
```
## Notes
- OpenClaw uses the Brave **Search** plan. If you have a legacy subscription (e.g. the original Free plan with 2,000 queries/month), it remains valid but does not include newer features like LLM Context or higher rate limits.
- Each Brave plan includes **\$5/month in free credit** (renewing). The Search plan costs \$5 per 1,000 requests, so the credit covers 1,000 queries/month. Set your usage limit in the Brave dashboard to avoid unexpected charges. See the [Brave API portal](https://brave.com/search/api/) for current plans.
- The Search plan includes the LLM Context endpoint and AI inference rights. Storing results to train or tune models requires a plan with explicit storage rights. See the Brave [Terms of Service](https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/terms-of-service).
- `llm-context` mode returns grounded source entries instead of the normal web-search snippet shape.
- `llm-context` mode does not support `ui_lang`, `freshness`, `date_after`, or `date_before`.
- `ui_lang` must include a region subtag like `en-US`.
- Results are cached for 15 minutes by default (configurable via `cacheTtlMinutes`).
See [Web tools](/tools/web) for the full web_search configuration.
