| # SerpAPI | |
| This page covers how to use the SerpAPI search APIs within LangChain. | |
| It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to the specific SerpAPI wrapper. | |
| ## Installation and Setup | |
| - Install requirements with `pip install google-search-results` | |
| - Get a SerpAPI api key and either set it as an environment variable (`SERPAPI_API_KEY`) | |
| ## Wrappers | |
| ### Utility | |
| There exists a SerpAPI utility which wraps this API. To import this utility: | |
| ```python | |
| from langchain.utilities import SerpAPIWrapper | |
| ``` | |
| For a more detailed walkthrough of this wrapper, see [this notebook](../modules/utils/examples/serpapi.ipynb). | |
| ### Tool | |
| You can also easily load this wrapper as a Tool (to use with an Agent). | |
| You can do this with: | |
| ```python | |
| from langchain.agents import load_tools | |
| tools = load_tools(["serpapi"]) | |
| ``` | |
| For more information on this, see [this page](../modules/agents/tools.md) | |
