Aluvia Brave Search

Headless web search and content extraction using Brave Search, with unblockable access via Aluvia mobile proxy. No browser required; bypasses blocks and CAPTCHAs.

Setup

Run once before first use:

cd ~/Projects/agent-scripts/skills/aluvia-brave-search
npm ci

Set your API keys (required for all features):

export ALUVIA_API_KEY=your_aluvia_key export BRAVE_API_KEY=your_brave_key

Optional: reuse a specific Aluvia connection

export ALUVIA_CONNECTION_ID=your_connection_id

Both ALUVIA_API_KEY and BRAVE_API_KEY are required. If ALUVIA_CONNECTION_ID is set, it will be used to reuse an existing Aluvia connection for proxying requests.
