Web search and fetching (TinyFish)

Models can’t browse the web on their own. To let Pine’s AI search the web and read page contents, you also need a TinyFish API key. This step is optional, but strongly recommended.

Step 1: Sign up and sign in

  • Open agent.tinyfish.ai.
  • You can sign up with GitHub, Google, Microsoft, an X account, or email.
  • If a cookie notice appears at the bottom of the page, choose according to your preference.

Step 2: Skip the onboarding

  • A new account lands on a “Connect TinyFish” onboarding page that asks you to copy a “setup prompt” to some AI agent.
  • Pine doesn’t need this step; just click Skip setup at the top right.
Warning

The setup prompt on that onboarding page contains your full API key. Don’t screenshot or share it.

Step 3: View and copy the key

  • Click API Keys on the left (①). A new account gets a key automatically, hidden by default.
  • Click the eye icon (②) to reveal it.
  • Click Copy (③) to copy it.

Step 4: Enter it in Pine

  • Click the gear Open Pine settings at the top right of Pine (①):

Settings button at the top right of Pine

Click Agent on the left (②):

Scroll to Tools & privacy, find TinyFish web tools (currently Not configured), and click Add key (③):

In the Set TinyFish API key dialog, paste the key (④) and click Save key (⑤):

After saving, the status changes to Configured, and the AI can use web search and page fetching. Try it: in a session, ask “Search for today’s news about something and summarize it.”

  • TinyFish states that Search and Fetch have a free allowance, with a requests-per-minute limit on the free tier. For exact allowances and prices, see the TinyFish docs and its pricing page.
  • To change the key later, go back to the same place and click Change key.
  • The same security rule as any API key applies: don’t share it. If it leaks, click Regenerate key on TinyFish’s API Keys page and enter the new key in Pine.
