Connected API

Sapientia can connect with external APIs to expand its capabilities. Currently supports Google Custom Search API to provide AI with access to information from the internet.

Google Custom Search API

Enables AI to search for current information from the internet to answer questions about topics not available in the local knowledge base.

How to Get API Key

To use this feature, you need:

1. Google Custom Search API Key

Open Google Cloud Console
Create a new project or select an existing one
Enable "Custom Search API" in APIs & Services → Library
Create API Key in Credentials → Create Credentials → API Key
(Optional) Restrict API Key by selecting "Custom Search API" in API restrictions

Note: API Key is confidential, do not share it with others.

2. Programmable Search Engine ID

Open Programmable Search Engine
Click "Add" to create a new search engine
Select "Search the entire web"
Get the Search Engine ID from the "Overview" or "Setup" section
Copy the ID (format: 0123456789abcdefg:hijklmnop)

How to Configure in Sapientia

Limit Source Citation

Controls the number of search results analyzed by AI (1-10 sources).

Recommendations:

3 sources: Simple questions, fast response
5 sources: Balanced for most cases (recommended)
8-10 sources: In-depth research, complex topics

Note: Google free quota = 100 queries/day. Each source = 1 API call.
