ClawHub is the official skill registry for OpenClaw — a local-first, open-source AI agent framework. It functions as a centralized marketplace where developers can discover, install, and publish modular “skills” that extend an OpenClaw agent’s capabilities. Skills are simple folder-based bundles containing a SKILL.md file and supporting scripts, installable in seconds via the ClawHub CLI. Dappier is a platform that connects LLMs and Agentic AI agents to real-time, rights-cleared data from trusted sources, including web search, finance, and news. By providing enriched, prompt-ready data, Dappier empowers AI with verified and up-to-date information for a wide range of applications.

Overview

The ClawHub integration with Dappier allows OpenClaw users to supercharge their AI agents with real-time search and AI-powered recommendation tools — no training or fine-tuning required. By leveraging Dappier’s pre-trained, RAG-ready APIs, your agent can retrieve accurate, up-to-date information across key domains such as news, finance, weather, sports, research, and more. The dappier-search skill ships with two categories of tools:
  • Real Time Search Tools: Enable your OpenClaw agent to access live web data and financial markets using natural language queries.
  • AI Recommendation Tools: Provide intelligent, curated content recommendations from trusted media sources based on user intent and query context.
Together, these tools help ensure your agent’s outputs are factual, relevant, and enriched with trusted real-world data.

Prerequisites

Tools Profile

The dappier-search skill executes Node.js scripts on your local machine and requires access to filesystem, runtime, and shell tools. By default, OpenClaw may run with a restricted tool profile that blocks these capabilities. To ensure all Dappier tools execute correctly, set your tools profile to full in your OpenClaw configuration file (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):
The full profile places no restrictions on available tools, giving your agent unrestricted access to run scripts, read files, and execute shell commands. The available profiles are:
Note: After editing openclaw.json, restart the OpenClaw Gateway for the change to take effect: openclaw restart

Installation

Install the skill via ClawHub CLI

You can also browse and download the skill directly from the ClawHub marketplace: 👉 clawhub.ai/amaan-ai20/dappier-search

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+ — required for native fetch support
  • A Dappier API key — set as the DAPPIER_API_KEY environment variable

Setup your API Key

Generate a free API key from your Dappier API dashboard. Once you have the key, you can provide it in one of two ways: Option 1 — Export in your shell (temporary, current session only):
Option 2 — Define it permanently in your OpenClaw environment file: Add the following line to ~/.openclaw/.env:
OpenClaw automatically loads environment variables from this file at startup, so your key will be available to all skills — including dappier-search — without needing to export it each session.

Real Time Search Tools

The real-time search tools give your OpenClaw agent live access to the web and financial markets. There are two tools in this category. Query real-time web content including the latest news, weather, travel deals, gold prices, and general web information.
Examples:
Sample output:

2. Stock Market Data

Access real-time financial insights, stock prices, and market news for any publicly traded company.
Note: The query must include a stock ticker symbol (e.g. AAPL, TSLA, MSFT, GOOGL) to retrieve meaningful results.
Examples:
Sample output:

Parameters

Both real-time search tools accept a single required parameter:

query (str)

  • A natural language query used to retrieve real-time data.
  • For stock-market, the query must include a ticker symbol.
  • This parameter is required for both tools.

AI Recommendation Tools

The AI recommendation tools provide curated, real-time article recommendations from trusted media sources across a range of verticals. These are powered by Dappier’s pre-trained RAG data models.

3. Sports News

Fetch AI-powered sports news and updates from top sources including Sportsnaut, Forever Blueshirts, Minnesota Sports Fan, LAFB Network, Bounding Into Sports, and Ringside Intel.
Examples:
Sample output:

4. Benzinga Financial News

Examples:
Sample output:

5. Lifestyle News

Fetch AI-powered lifestyle news from leading publications including The Mix, Snipdaily, Nerdable, and Familyproof — covering wellness, family life, home, entertainment, and more.
Examples:
Sample output:
Perform a real-time scholarly search across over 2.4 million open-access articles from arXiv and other academic sources, spanning computer science, mathematics, physics, quantitative finance, statistics, and more.
Examples:
Sample output:

7. Stellar AI (Solar & Roof Analysis)

Provide a residential home address and receive an advanced solar feasibility analysis — including roof dimensions, solar panel placement recommendations, and estimated energy output — powered by Digital Satellite Imagery (DSM) and solar irradiance data.
Examples:
Sample output:

Parameters

All AI Recommendation tools (sports-news, benzinga-news, lifestyle-news) share the following options. The research-papers and stellar-ai tools accept only a query.

query (str)

  • The natural language query for retrieving recommendations or search results.
  • Required for all tools.

--top_k (int) Optional

  • The number of result articles to return.
  • Defaults to 9.
  • Example: --top_k 5

--algorithm (str) Optional

  • The search algorithm used to rank and retrieve articles.
  • Defaults to most_recent.
  • Available options:
