description: Wrapper around Serper.dev - Google Search API.

Serper

The Serper node is a wrapper around the Serper.dev Google Search API. It provides a tool for performing Google searches within your application.

Parameters

This node doesn't have any input parameters specific to its functionality. However, it requires a credential to be connected:

Input/Output

• The node doesn't have any specific inputs defined in the inputs array.

• The main input it requires is the Serper API key, which is obtained through the connected credential.

• Output is not explicitly defined in this class, but it will return a new instance of the Serper class from the @langchain/community/tools/serper package.

Functionality

The Serper node initializes a Serper tool that can be used for Google searches. Here’s how it works:

1. When initialized, it retrieves the credential data associated with the node.

2. It extracts the Serper API key from the credential data.

3. It creates and returns a new instance of the Serper class, passing the API key as a parameter.

Usage

This node is typically used as part of a larger workflow where Google search functionality is needed. It can be combined with other nodes to create more complex search and information retrieval systems.
