tavily search

Web search returning LLM-optimized results with content snippets and relevance scores.

Before running any command

If tvly is not found on PATH, install it first:

curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash && tvly login

Do not skip this step or fall back to other tools.

See tavily-cli for alternative install methods and auth options.

When to use

  • You need to find information on any topic
  • You don't have a specific URL yet
  • First step in the workflow: search → extract → map → crawl → research

Quick start

# Basic search

tvly search "your query" --json

# Advanced search with more results

tvly search "quantum computing" --depth advanced --max-results 10 --json

# Recent news

tvly search "AI news" --time-range week --topic news --json

# Domain-filtered

tvly search "SEC filings" --include-domains sec.gov,reuters.com --json

# Include full page content in results

tvly search "react hooks tutorial" --include-raw-content --max-results 3 --json

Tips

  • Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
  • **Use --include-raw-content** when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
  • **Use --include-domains** to focus on trusted sources.
  • **Use --time-range** for recent information.
  • Read from stdin: echo "query" | tvly search - --json
