2023-05-11 14:43:23,403 INFO THOUGHTS: I need to start by searching for estate sales in Queens, New York that are ending soon and have paintings available for purchase. I can use a search engine to find websites that list estate sales in the area. Once I have a list of estate sales, I can analyze the pricing of paintings at each sale to identify those that are priced affordably. I should save all relevant information to files to avoid exceeding my short term memory limit.

Have the same issue

Looks like you need to provide Google API Key in .env here:

### GOOGLE
## GOOGLE_API_KEY - Google API key (Example: my-google-api-key)
## CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID - Custom search engine ID (Example: my-custom-search-engine-id)
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
# CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID=your-custom-search-engine-id

I have already added that before the error occurred.

[iller75]

Got it as well and even with the google api

Seems like this may be related to a recently change just made by duckduckgo. Affects AutoGPT through the duckduckgo-search package
deedy5/duckduckgo_search#56

Thanks for your answer. I am very new at this. Could you please let me know what do I have to do to change the quotation marks?

[mikeliao89]

Ok. Apparently, you just have to download the package and update it. Now my autogpt is working fine.

Thanks for your answer.

Have the same Issue here - how do i fix it step by step by updating DuckDuck Go ? How do i update it?

[4trik]

It still doesn't work for me, I've also looked into:
#2330

But any google search would still throw me:

Command google returned: Error: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://customsearch.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q=ways+to+increase+net+worth&num=8&key=[myRealKey]&alt=json returned "Request contains an invalid argument.". Details: "[{'message': 'Request contains an invalid argument.', 'domain': 'global', 'reason': 'badRequest'}]">

Anyone had this?

Just click the link and read the readme file and install. deedy5/duckduckgo_search#56

pip install --upgrade duckduckgo-search worked after fix by @deedy5

Great job. Quick and timely update. Appreciate it.

I installed AutoGPT via docker-compose. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem with "google returned []"?

you could open a console for the docker container and then use the pip install --upgrade duckduckgo-search command

[streiman]

Thanks. I am just unable to open a bash shell. Probably because I am no docker expert.

[ntindle]

Should be cutting a new release for this soon

[k-boikov]

Fixed with #4142

[wujyhchyn]

I used the command pip install urllib3==1.25 to downgrade urllib, and miraculously, it can run now.

[DimbaPride]

I have this error too, can someone help me?
