Tavily Search
Tavily's Search API is a search engine built specifically for AI agents (LLMs), delivering real-time, accurate, and factual results at speed.
Setup
The integration lives in the langchain-community package. We also need to install the tavily-python package itself.
pip install -U langchain-community tavily-python
We also need to set our Tavily API key.
import getpass
import os
os.environ["TAVILY_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass()
It's also helpful (but not needed) to set up LangSmith for best-in-class observability
# os.environ["LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2"] = "true"
# os.environ["LANGCHAIN_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass()
Usage
Here we show how to use the tool individually.
from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults
tool = TavilySearchResults()

Chaining
We show here how to use it as part of an agent. We use the OpenAI Functions Agent, so we will need to setup and install the required dependencies for that. We will also use LangSmith Hub to pull the prompt from, so we will need to install that.
