Scavio for Hermes v0.12 Search API Fallback Layer

The Problem

Hermes v0.12 agents rely on a single search provider. Provider downtime (3-4 hours/week on average) means the agent either hallucinates or refuses to answer current-events queries. There is no built-in fallback mechanism, and users experience degraded quality during outages.

How Scavio Helps

• Automatic fallback on primary provider failure
• Zero changes to agent prompt or reasoning logic
• 200-300 fallback queries/week at $1.00-1.50
• Search uptime improves from 96% to 99.5%
• Transparent fallback -- the agent does not know which provider responded

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "A Hermes v0.12 agent's primary search provider goes down for 2 hours during business hours. Without fallback, 45 user queries get hallucinated or refused answers. With Scavio fallback, the wrapper function detects empty results from the primary provider and retries through Scavio. All 45 queries get search-grounded answers. Fallback cost: $0.225 for 45 queries.":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")
