SearchCans Agent Skills

Turn live, localized search results into evidence-led research — then read the pages that matter.

SearchCans Agent Skills help AI agents run practical web-research workflows:

Search a real SERP → select useful sources → extract clean Markdown → deliver a traceable result.

Built for deep research, SEO/GEO planning, competitor analysis, RAG preparation, and webpage extraction audits.

Why SearchCans?

SearchCans combines three agent-ready building blocks under one API key:

  • SERP API finds current, geo-targeted Google and Bing search evidence.
  • Reader API converts selected web pages, PDFs, and Office documents into clean Markdown and optional HTML.
  • Account API lets multi-request workflows check remaining credits and Parallel Lanes before work begins.

The Skills keep research disciplined:

  • SERP snippets are leads, not proof.
  • Reader-extracted URLs support consequential claims.
  • Deep Research requires a 3–5 question research plan.
  • Account-aware controls can cap scope and concurrency before a job exceeds its intended budget.
  • Reports distinguish observed facts, inference, and uncertainty.

Account-aware workflows

SearchCans Skills can use the Account API to make multi-request work more predictable:

  • Estimate the credits required before a job starts.
  • Stop or reduce a job when the available balance is insufficient.
  • Limit simultaneous API calls to the account’s observed Parallel Lane count.
  • Record only sanitized budget information — never account email, API keys, or tokens.

This is especially useful for multi-source research, multi-page SERP analysis, and higher-cost Reader proxy requests.
