Seltz Python SDK for AI-powered search
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need web search integration for AI applications and have a Seltz API key. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, and offers both sync and async interfaces. However, verify the license status before use in proprietary projects, and confirm the service's production readiness and pricing model for your use case.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or higher and a valid Seltz API key.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and only two runtime dependencies (grpcio and protobuf).
- The package is actively maintained with a recent release.

What it is and what it does
Seltz is the official Python SDK for Seltz, a web search engine designed for AI agents. It wraps gRPC and protobuf to communicate with Seltz's backend, offering two main capabilities: synchronous and asynchronous web search with result streaming, and natural-language answer generation grounded in web results with source citations.
The SDK supports multiple answer tiers (base and pro models), structured JSON output via OpenAI-style schemas, system prompt customization, and streaming responses. Both sync and async APIs are available, with context manager support for deterministic resource cleanup. The package targets Python 3.9 and above and depends only on grpcio and protobuf for transport.
Use it for
- Build AI agents that need real-time web search results with citations for grounded reasoning.
- Generate natural-language answers to user queries with sources cited from live web content.
- Stream search results or answers to users as they arrive, rather than waiting for full completion.
- Integrate web search into async Python applications without blocking the event loop.
- Fetch structured JSON responses from web search queries using custom schemas.
