API reference

Execute Web Search Lite

Lightweight search-only endpoint. Returns search snippets and URLs without fetching page contents. Pair with `/open-urls` if you need to fetch content later.

Before you begin

This page uses Nexus's generated request and response schema. Requests still require the correct account, workspace, and resource permissions.

POST/web-search/search-lite

Workspace

Example request body

curl --request POST 'https://school.narb.cc/api/web-search/search-lite' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "queries": [
    "example"
  ]
}'

This builds a request example. Fill in required query values, then replace path placeholders and YOUR_TOKEN in your own environment. Use a token for a user with access to this workspace. Responses and permissions depend on your account and deployment. Never paste a private token into documentation.

Import the schema into your API client. It describes the backend source; enabled routes depend on your workspace.

Authentication and scope#

Send requests to the workspace that owns the resource. Authentication does not by itself grant a school membership, class assignment, or administrator permission. School endpoints apply their role and class checks on the server.

Use a credential issued for that workspace with only the permissions your integration needs. Keep it on your server. Do not place credentials in a public website or a shared skill.

Lightweight search-only endpoint. Returns search snippets and URLs without fetching page contents. Pair with /open-urls if you need to fetch content later.

Parameters#

Name	Location	Required	Type
`tenant_id`	query	No	string or null

The tenant_id parameter is part of the engine schema. It does not authorize a caller to another school. Use the workspace and permissions assigned to your account.

Request body#

Content type: application/json.

Field	Type	Required	Details
`queries`	array of string	Yes	List of search queries to send to the configured provider. Minimum items: `1`.
`max_results`	integer or null	No	Optional cap on number of results to return per query. Defaults to 10. Default: `10`.

Request schema#

The schema includes field limits and required values. Referenced types are included in the downloadable OpenAPI file. Replace example identifiers with IDs from your workspace.

Access and error handling#

A signed-out or expired session needs authentication. A denied request can mean the account lacks permission, class membership, an approved model, or an available allowance. Do not retry a write blindly after a network failure; first check whether it was recorded.

Treat validation errors as a request problem. Use the returned field details to correct the request. Resource identifiers do not confer access.
