# Zhipu Web Search
Use Zhipu's web search API to search the internet.
## ⚠️ Security Requirements
**This skill requires `MINIMAX_API_KEY` environment variable to be set before use.**
### Security Best Practices:
1. **DO NOT store API keys in ~/.bashrc** - keys can be leaked
2. **DO NOT source shell configuration files** - prevents arbitrary code execution
3. **Set environment variable directly** when running the script
4. **Be aware** API key will be visible in process list (ps aux)
## Setup
```bash
# Set API key as environment variable
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your_api_key"
```
**Get your API key from:** https://www.bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys
## Usage
### Quick Search
```bash
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your_key"
curl -s -X POST "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/chat/completions" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MINIMAX_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "glm-4-flash",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "搜索: YOUR_QUERY"}],
"tools": [{"type": "web_search", "web_search": {"search_query": "YOUR_QUERY"}}]
}' | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content'
```
### Using the Script
```bash
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your_key"
./search.sh "搜索内容"
```
## Security Analysis
### ✅ What's Safe:
- No sourcing of ~/.bashrc or shell config files
- Uses jq for JSON escaping (prevents injection)
- Uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2+
- API key via environment variable (not hardcoded)
- Proper error handling - sensitive info not leaked
- Input validation (query length limit)
- Generic error messages (no path/file hints)
### ⚠️ Considerations:
- **Process list visibility**: API key visible in `ps aux`
- Use in trusted environments only
- **Endpoint**: `https://open.bigmodel.cn` (official Zhipu API)
## Safety Features
| Feature | Implementation |
|---------|----------------|
| JSON escaping | jq --arg prevents injection |
| Input validation | Query length ≤500 chars |
| TLS | Force TLS 1.2+ |
| Error handling | Generic messages, no leaks |
| Timeout | 30 second curl timeout |
## When to Use
- User says "search for", "look up", "find information about"
- User asks "what's the latest news about"
- User needs current information from the web
