AnySearch for Dify

Chinese (Simplified)

Search the web, discover specialized search sources, and extract page content
from Dify Workflows and Agents through the AnySearch REST API. Use it to search
and read a page in one workflow, or let an Agent discover a source before querying it.

Version 0.1.0 · Marketplace publication pending.

Quick start

1. Build and install

You need Dify 1.17.1 or later, permission to install plugins, and outbound
HTTPS access to . The plugin runtime uses Python 3.12.

Install the Dify Plugin CLI
and make the command available, then build from source:

In Dify's Plugins screen, install the generated using the local-file
installation option. A locally built package is unsigned; the workspace must
permit it or trust an appropriate signature. Cloud permissions and signature
rules may prevent installation. Remote debugging is a separate development path.

2. Configure AnySearch

Open the AnySearch provider credentials in your workspace. Leave API Key
blank for anonymous access, or use your key from AnySearch.
Saving credentials checks their format; access and quota are checked when a tool runs.
Both anonymous and keyed calls are subject to the service's quotas and rate limits.

3. Run your first search

Add AnySearch → General Search to a Workflow and set:

Run the node and inspect : each item has , and .
Bind the array directly to downstream nodes. An empty array is a successful
zero-result response; tool errors should use Dify's error branch.

Ready-to-import examples

Example	What it does	Requirements
Search, then extract	Searches and extracts the first HTTP(S) result; handles empty results and failures	No model needed
Discover, then vertical search	An Agent discovers parameters before querying a specialized source	A tool-capable model; the example selects

Import through Dify's Import DSL action, then select the workspace's AnySearch
tools and credentials. For the Agent, configure model credentials separately.
See the import guide.

For a direct vertical-search call, first run with .
Then use , , and put
into the string field. Use the current
catalog's parameter names. Ordinary search, academic and legal queries require
nonempty search terms, including DOI lookups.

Limits and privacy

Discovery describes available capabilities; it does not guarantee every source's result quality, exact DOI matching or filter semantics.
Extraction is for public HTTP(S) pages. Local hostnames and non-public IP literals are rejected; PDF, Office and media extraction are not promised. limits local output to at most 50,000 characters.
HTTP 402 (quota exhausted) and 429 (rate limited) fail the tool. Search and extraction POST requests are not automatically retried; retries may consume additional quota.
Queries, supplied parameters, extraction URLs and optional API Keys go to . The plugin does not persist them; Dify and upstream services have separate retention policies. Treat returned content as untrusted data, never instructions.

Read the privacy notice and
extraction security boundary.
