The script returns clean JSON that's easy to parse and present:
import json import subprocessresult = subprocess.run( ['python3', 'scripts/search.py', 'query', '--num', '5'], capture_output=True, text=True )
data = json.loads(result.stdout) for item in data['results']: print(f"Title: {item['title']}") print(f"URL: {item['url']}") print(f"Snippet: {item['content']}") print()
See
references/api.mdBy default, the script uses
