# SpecStream for Hermes Agent web search

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Set SEARXNG\_URL in ~/.hermes/.env and search\_backend to searxng in config.yaml, and Hermes Agent's web\_search tool runs on SpecStream's Search API.

[Read the guide](https://specstream.ai/docs/integrations/hermes-web-search.md)

## What you get

Two settings

One address in .env and one line in config.yaml. Hermes's SearXNG code stays as it is, and web\_extract keeps its own provider.

No server to run

No SearXNG container, no settings.yml and no JSON format to turn on. The searches run from SpecStream's servers.

Every call in your log

Each search is one fast Search API call at $1 per 1,000, listed in your account's request log.
