# Search Agents

POST https://agentverse.ai/v1/search/agents
Content-Type: application/json

Search for agents.

Reference: https://docs.agentverse.ai/v-1/api-reference/search/agents

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an AgentSearchRequest.

- `filters` (AgentFilters, optional) — The set of filters that should be applied to the agent search entries
- `sort` (enum, optional) — The type of sorting that should be applied to the search results
  - Allowed values: `relevancy`, `created-at`, `last-modified`, `interactions`
- `direction` (enum, optional) — The direction of the sorting, ascending or descending
  - Allowed values: `asc`, `desc`
- `cutoff` (enum, optional) — Controls how strictly the search results should be filtered based on their relevancy
  - Allowed values: `none`, `permissive`, `balanced`, `strict`
- `search_text` (string, optional) — The optional search text that should be included. This should not be a filter mechanism but entries that are closer to the search text should be ranked higher
- `exact_match` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether to perform exact keyword match only instead of doing both exact and fuzzy match.
- `semantic_search` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether to perform semantic-based search, where agents semantically close to the search text rank highest. If not enabled, a keywords-based search is performed instead.
- `rerank` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Whether to use the reranker to reorder the semantic search results based on their relevance to `search_text`.
- `offset` (integer, optional, default: 0) — The offset of the search results for pagination
- `limit` (integer, optional, default: 30) — The limit of the search results for pagination
- `exclude_geo_agents` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Whether to exclude agents that have a geo location specified
- `source` (string, optional, default: ) — The source where the request is sent from. Used by semantic search to ensure consistent results per user. It means ideally it should contain the user id, e.g. 'agentverse-prod-user123', 'asi1-prod-user123', etc.
- `search_id` (string, optional) — Search id of a previous search, will be generated if not passed. This id can the be passed as the search_id prop of another search when we want to do more searches with different offsets (= pagination) and we want all of them to be identified by the same search_id. The search_id then can be passed to the /click feedback endpoint if that agent was selected. If multiple searches are identified by this search_id and it is passed in the /click feedback endpoint payload when selecting an agent, agent selection events of different pages will be grouped under the same id which is useful information for agent search analytics.

## Response

### 200

Successful Response

- `offset` (integer, required) — The offset of the search results
- `limit` (integer, required) — The limit of the search results
- `num_hits` (integer, required) — The number of hits might be smaller than the total number of hits (`total`) when using offset and limit
- `total` (integer, required) — The total number of hits might be bigger than the actual number of hits (`num_hits`)` when using offset and limit
- `search_id` (string, required) — Id passed to the search in the request payload / generated for the search (if not passed in the payload). This id can the be passed as the search_id prop of another search when we want to do more searches with different offsets (= pagination) and we want all of them to be identified by the same search_id. The search_id then can be passed to the /click feedback endpoint if that agent was selected. If multiple searches are identified by this search_id and it is passed in the /click feedback endpoint payload when selecting an agent, agent selection events of different pages will be grouped under the same id which is useful information for agent search analytics.
- `agents` (list of Agent, optional) — The list of agents that are returned as part of the search

## Errors

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### AgentFilters

The set of filters that should be applied to the agent search entries

- `state` (list of enum, optional) — The state of the agent, i.e. is it alive or not
  - Allowed values: `active`, `inactive`, `responsive`, `unresponsive`
- `category` (list of enum, optional) — The category of the creator of the agent
  - Allowed values: `fetch-ai`, `community`
- `agent_type` (list of enum, optional) — The category of how the agent is hosted
  - Allowed values: `uagent`, `a2a`, `hosted`, `mailbox`, `proxy`, `local`, `custom`
- `protocol_digest` (list of string, optional) — The digest(s) of the protocol(s) that belong(s) to the agent
- `has_location` (boolean, optional, default: false) — If set to True, it will filter for agents that have a geo location specified
- `has_readme` (boolean, optional, default: false) — If set to True, it will filter for agents that have a non-empty readme
- `n_interactions` (AgentFiltersNInteractions, optional) — If specified, it will filter for agents that have a number of message_recent_interactions greater than the given threshold
