Add You.com API Tools for Search and Content Extraction

Summary

This PR adds two new tools that integrate You.com's API for web search and content
extraction capabilities:

• YouSearchTool: Perform web searches with advanced operators, filters,
  pagination, and multilingual support
• YouContentsTool: Extract content from URLs in markdown, HTML, or metadata
  formats

Features

YouSearchTool

• ✅ Web search with support for search operators (site:, filetype:, boolean
  logic)
• ✅ Pagination support via offset parameter (0-9 range)
• ✅ Multilingual search with 59 BCP 47 language codes (EN, EN-GB, ZH-HANS, PT-BR,
  etc.)
• ✅ 36 country codes for geo-targeting
• ✅ Freshness filters (day/week/month/year or date ranges)
• ✅ Livecrawl support for full content extraction
• ✅ Configurable safesearch levels

YouContentsTool

• ✅ Extract content from single or multiple URLs
• ✅ Multiple output formats: markdown, html, metadata
• ✅ Configurable crawl timeout (1-60 seconds)
• ✅ Metadata extraction (OpenGraph, JSON-LD)

Implementation Details

Follows crewAI Patterns:

• Inherits from BaseTool with proper schema validation
• Uses EnvVar for API key configuration
• Implements both sync (_run) methods
• Includes package_dependencies and env_vars declarations
• Uses core requests dependency (no additional packages required)

Type Safety:

• Type-safe country and language enums using Literal types
• Proper parameter validation and clamping (offset: 0-9, crawl_timeout: 1-60)
• Pydantic schemas for input validation

Error Handling:

• Graceful error handling with descriptive error messages
• Returns error strings instead of raising exceptions
• Validates API key presence in __init__

Testing

• ✅ 25 comprehensive tests covering all functionality
• ✅ 100% test coverage for both tools
• ✅ All tests use mocked API responses for reliability
• ✅ Tests cover: initialization, functionality, pagination, language support,
  error handling, parameter validation

Test Results:
YouSearchTool: 13/13 tests passing
YouContentsTool: 12/12 tests passing
Total: 25/25 tests passing

Code Quality

• ✅ Passes all ruff linting checks
• ✅ Properly formatted with ruff
• ✅ No linting errors or warnings
• ✅ Follows project conventions and patterns

Documentation

• ✅ Comprehensive README for each tool with usage examples
• ✅ API key setup instructions (https://you.com/platform/api-keys)
• ✅ Pagination examples for search tool
• ✅ Multilingual search examples (Chinese, Portuguese, etc.)
• ✅ Multiple format examples for contents tool
• ✅ CrewAI integration examples with Agent/Task/Crew

Usage Example

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import YouSearchTool, YouContentsTool

# Initialize tools
search_tool = YouSearchTool(
    count=10,
    language="EN-GB",
    country="GB",
    freshness="week"
)
contents_tool = YouContentsTool(formats=["markdown", "metadata"])

# Create agent
researcher = Agent(
    role="Web Researcher",
    goal="Find and extract relevant information",
    tools=[search_tool, contents_tool]
)

# Create task
task = Task(
    description="Search for recent AI developments and extract key insights",
    agent=researcher,
    expected_output="Summary of recent AI developments with sources"
)

# Run
crew = Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()

Note

Low Risk
Additive new tools and tests with no changes to existing tool behavior; main risk is correctness of external API request/response handling and required YOU_API_KEY configuration.

Overview
Adds two new You.com integrations: YouSearchTool (web search with filters like count/offset, country/language, freshness, safesearch, and optional livecrawl) and YouContentsTool (extract page contents from one or many URLs in markdown/html/metadata).

Both tools require YOU_API_KEY, perform HTTP requests via requests, clamp key parameters (e.g., offset and crawl timeout), return pretty-printed JSON on success, and return error strings on request/validation failures. They’re exported via package __init__ modules and include dedicated READMEs plus comprehensive mocked-unit tests.
