Tips and Best Practices​

  • Use Serper Tools when your agents need access to current information that may not be present in their training data.
  • Combine Serper Tools with other nodes to create more informed and up-to-date responses.
  • Be mindful of API usage and costs associated with the Serper.dev service.

Troubleshooting​

  • If the node fails to initialize, ensure that your Serper API credential is correctly set up and contains a valid API key.
  • Check your Serper.dev account for any API usage limits or restrictions if you encounter unexpected behavior.

Remember that the Serper Tools node acts as a wrapper around the Serper.dev Google Search API. Familiarize yourself with the Serper.dev documentation for more detailed information on the underlying API capabilities and limitations.
