More facts
| What it is | A web search API for AI agents: send a query, get ranked results with the content of the top pages as Markdown |
|---|---|
| Credits | One credit pays for one search: up to 20 ranked results, with the pages of the first 3 read and returned as Markdown. Reading 4 to 10 pages makes it 2 credits. A call that ends in an error costs nothing |
| Reading known URLs | Reading pages whose URLs you already have costs 1 credit for each started group of 3 pages returned with content, up to 20 URLs per call; refused or failed URLs are not counted |
| Credit expiry | Search credits have no expiry date: what you do not use this month is still there next year |
| Output | Each result carries its position, title, URL, host, snippet and, when it was read, the page's main content as Markdown or plain text with its word count and publication date when known |
| Results | Results come from a live web search run at the moment of your call, in the order the search engine ranks them; nothing is served from an old index |
| Filters | Choose the country and language of the results, a time range (past day, week, month or year), web or news results, and domains to include or exclude |
| Answer | The API returns sources, not a written answer: your own model reads the pages, writes the reply and cites the URLs |
| robots.txt | Our reader respects robots.txt: it introduces itself as LLMWebSearch, follows the rules a site writes for it or for all robots, and leaves out the content of any page it is not allowed to read |
| Site owners' choices | A site that sets Content-Signal: ai-input=no in its robots.txt keeps its pages out of your results' content. When a site turns our reader away, the result comes back without content and with the site's status: we never solve CAPTCHAs, sign in to accounts or work around a block or a paywall |
| User-Agent | LLMWebSearch/1.0 (+https://llmwebsearch.com/bot/) |
| Endpoint | POST https://llmwebsearch.com/api/v1/search |
| Authentication | Pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, or as the api_key query parameter |
| Code examples | Python, Node.js and curl, plus tool definitions for MCP, LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI function calling, n8n and OpenClaw |
| Account | Sign in with an account number; an email address is optional. Your account number is how you sign in, so store it carefully. With an optional email on file you can recover it; with no email, a lost number is gone for good |
| Request logs | Each call leaves one log line: the time, the account, the first 60 characters of the query, how many results and pages were returned, and the credits. Lines are deleted after 30 days. The content of the pages we read is not kept. Account number, orders, top-ups and credit totals stay while the account exists, then only as long as accounting law asks. Authorities receive records only when a law compels us |
