How do I handle the JSON data returned by the skill?

The skill is designed to work seamlessly with 'jq', allowing you to filter results for specific fields like titles, links, snippets, or prices.

Does this skill require a paid SerpApi account?

SerpApi offers a free tier with 100 searches per month, but you will need to sign up and provide your own API key to use the skill.

What search engines can I scrape with the SerpApi skill?

The skill supports a wide range of engines including Google Search, Google Images, Google Maps, Google News, YouTube, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.

Can I target searches to specific cities or countries?

Yes, you can use the 'location', 'gl' (country code), and 'hl' (language code) parameters to get highly localized search results.

Why do I need to use bash -c when running SerpApi commands?

Due to how environment variables are handled in certain CLI environments, wrapping commands in bash -c ensures your API key is correctly passed through pipes.
