Google search example

This example demonstrates how to integrate Google Search as a grounding tool within an ADK agent, allowing the agent to retrieve real-time information from the web to answer user queries.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• A Google API key set as an environment variable (GOOGLE_API_KEY)

Steps for running this example in the shell

1. Install dependencies:

python -m venv .venv

# macOS/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate

# Windows Command Prompt:
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

# Windows PowerShell:
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Export your API key as an environment variable:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="sk-..." # Windows cmd: set GOOGLE_API_KEY="sk-..." # Windows PowerShell: $env:GOOGLE_API_KEY="sk-..."

3. Run the script:

python google_search.py

Output

The agent will respond to your queries, potentially using Google Search to find the answer. You will observe when it invokes the search tool and the results it obtains.
