# Pi Web Access
**Web search, content extraction, and video understanding for Pi agent. OpenAI/Codex search, zero-config Exa search, Brave, Parallel, TinyFish, Search1API, Searchinfinity, Querit, Tavily, SERPdive, AnySearch, self-hosted SearXNG, optional browser-cookie Gemini Web, or bring your own API keys.**

## Why Pi Web Access
**Zero Config** — Works out of the box with Exa MCP (no API key needed). If you're signed into Pi with a Codex subscription, OpenAI web search can reuse that auth. Add API keys for OpenAI, Brave, Parallel, TinyFish, Search1API, Searchinfinity, Querit, Tavily, SERPdive, Exa, Perplexity, or Gemini API for more control; configure a self-hosted SearXNG endpoint for private search; or opt into browser-cookie access for Gemini Web.
**Video Understanding** — Point it at a YouTube video or local screen recording and ask questions about what's on screen. Full transcripts, visual descriptions, and frame extraction at exact timestamps.
**Smart Fallbacks** — Every capability has a fallback chain. Search tries configured SearXNG first for local/private search, then OpenAI when suitable and available, Exa, Brave, Parallel, TinyFish, Search1API, Searchinfinity, Querit, Tavily, SERPdive, Perplexity, Gemini API, and Gemini Web when browser cookies are enabled. With no SearXNG configured, the existing zero-config order is unchanged. YouTube tries Gemini Web when enabled, then API, then Perplexity. Blocked pages try configured self-hosted Firecrawl first, then Jina Reader, TinyFish, Search1API, Querit, Parallel, and Gemini extraction. Something always works.
**GitHub Cloning** — GitHub URLs are cloned locally instead of scraped. The agent gets real file contents and a local path to explore, not rendered HTML.
## Install
```bash
pi install npm:pi-web-access
```
Works immediately with no API keys — Exa MCP provides zero-config search. If Pi has Codex auth from `/login`, OpenAI search can also work without a separate key. For more providers or direct API access, add keys to `~/.pi/web-search.json`:
```json
{
"openaiApiKey": "sk-...",
"braveApiKey": "BSA_...",
"exaApiKey": "exa-...",
"tinyfishApiKey": "sk-tinyfish-...",
"search1apiApiKey": "...",
"searchinfinityApiKey": "...",
"queritApiKey": "...",
"perplexityApiKey": "pplx-...",
"geminiApiKey": "AIza..."
}
```
In `auto` mode (default), `web_search` tries a configured SearXNG endpoint first for local/private search, then OpenAI when suitable and available, Exa (direct API if keyed, MCP if not), Brave, Parallel, TinyFish, Search1API, Searchinfinity, Querit, Tavily, SERPdive, Perplexity, Gemini API, and Gemini Web when browser-cookie access is enabled. With no SearXNG configured, the existing zero-config order is unchanged. Exa handles search; curator summary drafts are generated separately by the configured Pi summary model. Slow summary drafts fall back to a deterministic result summary after a bounded deadline.
If your OpenAI key belongs to a third-party Responses-compatible gateway, set `openaiResponsesUrl` to that gateway's full Responses endpoint. The default remains `https://api.openai.com/v1/responses`.
For sandboxed networks that provide outbound proxy transport through environment variables, set `ssrf.trustEnvProxy` to `true` to skip local DNS preflight for proxied hostnames:
```json
{
"ssrf": {
"trustEnvProxy": true
}
}
```
This is an opt-in DNS-preflight adjustment, not proxy transport configuration. `HTTP_PROXExcerpt of 45,887 characters
