Nimble Search with Provider-specific Parameters

import os
from litellm import search

os.environ["NIMBLE_API_KEY"] = "..."

response = search(
    query="latest tech news",
    search_provider="nimble",
    max_results=5,
    # Nimble-specific parameters
    focus="news",                    # 'serp', 'general', 'news', 'location', 'coding',
                                     # 'academic', 'geo', 'shopping', 'social'
    search_depth="deep",             # 'lite', 'fast', 'deep' ('fast' needs focus='general')
    time_range="week",               # 'hour', 'day', 'week', 'month', 'year'
    output_format="markdown"         # 'plain_text', 'markdown', 'simplified_html'
)

Domains can be restricted either through the unified search_domain_filter, where a - prefix excludes a host, or through Nimble's own include_domains and exclude_domains, which win when both are given. See the Nimble Search API reference for the full parameter set, including content_type, start_date and end_date.

Set NIMBLE_API_BASE to override the default https://sdk.nimbleway.com/v2 endpoint.
