Problem Description

Using request module in python I was able to obtain outputs for simple calls
Similarly I wanted to get web search results ,getting summarized by LLM through same python again with request module (which are ideal results from UI when we just select web search feature)
But lately couldn't able to find the solution and stuck in middle
I tried multiple ways but nothing worked as of now
I read in documentation we could directly select external in web search configuration and add custom endpoint but that just serves for raw content so it isn't the intent here
I want summary from web content using python just like UI functionality
Would really appreciate your help, thanks

Desired Solution you'd like

Please create solution similar to simple post requests with the python's request module ,example some additional parameter we can pass through Json parameter in requests.post() function
