When to use

User asks to look something up, find current information, research a topic, or answer a question that requires up-to-date knowledge beyond what you have in context.

Common operations

Fetch a web page
bash
curl -sL "https://example.com" | head -200
Search via DuckDuckGo (HTML)
bash
query="your search terms"
curl -sL "https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=$(printf '%s' "$query" | jq -sRr @uri)" \
  | grep -oP 'href="https?://[^"]*"' | head -10
Fetch and extract text from HTML
bash
# Strip HTML tags for readable text
curl -sL "$url" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | sed '/^$/d' | head -100
Fetch JSON APIs
bash
curl -s "https://api.example.com/endpoint" | jq '.results[]'
Download a file
bash
curl -sLO "https://example.com/file.txt"

Tips

  • Always use -s (silent) and -L (follow redirects) with curl
  • Pipe HTML through sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' for rough text extraction
  • Use head or tail to limit output — full web pages are huge
  • For JavaScript-heavy sites, raw curl won't render dynamic content
  • Rate-limit requests — don't hammer endpoints in tight loops
  • Check robots.txt before scraping extensively
