How websearch work in API?

[BhautikChudasama]

Recently I have installed kobold cpp with model L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2-Q4_K_S.gguf and enabled web search. It is showing websearch module is loaded. But i don't get how to trigger websearch using http://localhost:5001/v1/chat/completions? Is that anything i am missing?

WebSearch is a UI feature. It's accessed via the KoboldAI lite ui.

If you want to access it over the API, you should make a POST request to /api/extra/websearch instead. Check the API docs.

Thanks for reply, I tried but it returns []. I just want to understand we get the result from websearch and then feed that result to chat/completion?

Sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean wrapper battery?

Is there a tool or proxy that can perform web searches directly — so I don’t have to manually call /extra/websearch and then send the results to the API? I’m looking for something that abstracts that whole process.

Sorry internet is flaky so multiple times sent.

Not that i'm aware currently, but it shouldn't be too hard to make one

Got it. Thank you so much.
