Xcrawl Search

This wraps XCrawl's search API so you can run keyword queries with location and language controls directly from Claude. It reads your API key from a local config file at ~/.xcrawl/config.json, hits the search endpoint with curl or node, and returns raw JSON results without summarizing unless you ask. You get 1000 free credits to start. The skill is pretty straightforward: you pass a query, optional location and language parameters, and a result limit, then decide what to crawl next based on what comes back. It's a passthrough tool, not an agent that interprets results for you.

XCrawl Search

Overview

This skill uses XCrawl Search API to retrieve query-based results. Default behavior is raw passthrough: return upstream API response bodies as-is.

Required Local Config

Before using this skill, the user must create a local config file and write XCRAWL_API_KEY into it.

Path: ~/.xcrawl/config.json

{
  "XCRAWL_API_KEY": "<your_api_key>"
}

Read API key from local config file only. Do not require global environment variables.

Credits and Account Setup

Using XCrawl APIs consumes credits. If the user does not have an account or available credits, guide them to register at https://dash.xcrawl.com/. After registration, they can activate the free 1000 credits plan before running requests.
