How to Build an LLM Wiki with a Single Multi-Platform Search API

Replace 5 separate ingestion tools with one multi-platform search API for wiki building. Inspired by Karpathy LLM Wiki.

Karpathy's LLM Wiki project sparked discussion on r/AI_Agents about ingestion pipelines. Most wiki builders use separate tools for Google, Reddit, YouTube, and Amazon data. This tutorial replaces them all with a single API that covers multiple platforms, reducing integration complexity from 5 SDKs to 1.

Prerequisites

  • Scavio API key
  • Python 3.8+
  • Markdown-based wiki (git repo or filesystem)

Walkthrough

Step 1: Define wiki topic research function

One function searches all platforms for a topic.

Python
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
URL = 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search'

def research_topic(topic):
    sources = {}
    for platform in ['google', 'reddit', 'youtube']:
        data = requests.post(URL, headers=H,
            json={'platform': platform, 'query': topic}).json()
        sources[platform] = data.get('results', []) or data.get('organic_results', [])
    return sources

Step 2: Generate wiki entry from multi-platform data

Combine search results into a structured wiki page.

Python
def generate_wiki_entry(topic, sources):
    entry = f'# {topic}\n\n'
    entry += '## Overview\n'
    # Use top Google results for the overview
    for r in sources.get('google', [])[:3]:
        entry += f"- [{r.get('title', '')}]({r.get('link', '')}): {r.get('snippet', '')}\n"
    entry += '\n## Community Discussion\n'
    for r in sources.get('reddit', [])[:3]:
        entry += f"- [{r.get('title', '')}]({r.get('url', '')})\n"
    entry += '\n## Video Resources\n'
    for r in sources.get('youtube', [])[:3]:
        entry += f"- {r.get('title', '')}\n"
    return entry

Step 3: Build the wiki in batch

Process a list of topics and save as markdown files.

Python
import os

def build_wiki(topics, output_dir='wiki'):
    os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
    for topic in topics:
        slug = topic.lower().replace(' ', '-')
        sources = research_topic(topic)
        entry = generate_wiki_entry(topic, sources)
        with open(f'{output_dir}/{slug}.md', 'w') as f:
            f.write(entry)
        print(f'Built wiki page: {slug}.md')

topics = ['transformer architecture', 'RLHF training', 'RAG pipeline', 'MCP protocol']
build_wiki(topics)

Step 4: Add freshness checks

Re-research topics that are older than 7 days.

Python
import datetime

def needs_refresh(filepath, max_age_days=7):
    if not os.path.exists(filepath):
        return True
    mtime = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(filepath))
    return (datetime.datetime.now() - mtime).days > max_age_days

def refresh_wiki(topics, output_dir='wiki'):
    for topic in topics:
        slug = topic.lower().replace(' ', '-')
        path = f'{output_dir}/{slug}.md'
        if needs_refresh(path):
            sources = research_topic(topic)
            entry = generate_wiki_entry(topic, sources)
            with open(path, 'w') as f:
                f.write(entry)
            print(f'Refreshed: {slug}')

Python Example

Python
import os, requests
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}

def wiki_page(topic):
    data = {}
    for p in ['google', 'reddit', 'youtube']:
        r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H,
            json={'platform': p, 'query': topic}).json()
        data[p] = r.get('results', []) or r.get('organic_results', [])
    return data

# 4 topics x 3 platforms = 12 queries = $0.06

JavaScript Example

JavaScript
const platforms = ['google', 'reddit', 'youtube'];
const sources = {};
for (const platform of platforms) {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
    body: JSON.stringify({platform, query: topic})
  });
  sources[platform] = await res.json();
}

Expected Output

JSON
Markdown wiki with multi-platform sources per topic. One API key replaces separate Google, Reddit, and YouTube ingestion tools. 3 queries per topic = $0.015.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most developers complete this tutorial in 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a Scavio API key (free tier works) and a working Python or JavaScript environment.

Scavio API key. Python 3.8+. Markdown-based wiki (git repo or filesystem). A Scavio API key gives you 50 free credits on signup.

Yes. The free tier includes 50 credits on signup, which is more than enough to complete this tutorial and prototype a working solution.

Scavio has a native LangChain package (langchain-scavio), an MCP server, and a plain REST API that works with any HTTP client. This tutorial uses the raw REST API, but you can adapt to your framework of choice.
