Search API Account Credentials
Use Search API Account Credentials to establish a secure and authenticated connection from your HCL UnO Agentic AI Builder solutions to a generic Search API service. This credential type enables integration with third-party search providers that support API key-based authentication, allowing agents to perform external information retrieval from web indexes or structured data sources.
Before you begin
Ensure the following prerequisites are met:
- You have registered with a supported Search API provider and generated an API key.
- The selected provider supports REST-based access and returns data in a format compatible with your agent workflows (for example, JSON).

| Search API Key |
