How do I utilise Search in the make.com ChatGPT text completion module using GPT-4o?

How To
1

Hi,

I have a well-functioning prompt series that utilises ChatGPT’s :globe_with_meridians:Search functionality to access the web when using the ChatGPT Chat Interface.

I am trying to port the series of prompts into a make.com scenario, but am conscious there is no visible way to enable :globe_with_meridians:Search in order for the model to access a specified URL in the prompt.

How do I get around this? Use the API directly? Would appreciate any guidance :pray:

Thanks very much.

I recently had the same scenario with a client. I checked make and the internet but unfortunately, OpenAI does not allow websearch through the API.

  1. Is the Search Web model available through the API? - API - OpenAI Developer Community
  2. How can I use the search api? - #6 by _j - API - OpenAI Developer Community

Whilst reading I found people using Perplexity Pro for web searches using GPT.
I too would like to know if there are workarounds.

Welcome to the Make community!

Please see these duplicate questions previously asked and answered by other community members:

In short, you’ll need to use OpenAI with additional services like Exa and Tavily to access the web.

Alternatively, you can use Gemini or Perplexity.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
