FAQ
AI search API questions, answered.
Understand the sources, Search Fusion workflow, output options, and integration path before your first request.
What is an AI search API?
An AI search API gives models, agents, and applications programmatic access to current information from the web. WebSearchAPI.ai goes beyond a single search index by combining supported web and public community sources, then preparing the results for use as model context.
How is WebSearchAPI.ai different from a typical web search API?
Many web search APIs return links and snippets from one provider. WebSearchAPI.ai can search multiple sources, fetch full-page content, consolidate duplicate results, rerank the combined evidence, and return raw results, structured data, or a grounded response.
Which search engines and community sources are supported?
WebSearchAPI.ai supports search across Google, Bing, Brave, Yandex, Baidu, and DuckDuckGo, plus public content from X, Reddit, and Discourse-powered community websites. Source availability may vary by product configuration, plan, or region.
What is Search Fusion?
Search Fusion is the process that turns results from different sources into one useful evidence set. It fetches pages, normalizes source-specific data, consolidates duplicates, preserves provenance, and reranks the combined results for the request.
Can the web search API return full-page content?
Yes. You can request clean page content alongside search results or extract content from a specific URL. Unstoppable Web Scraping uses resilient extraction strategies, while still respecting applicable technical, legal, and access constraints.
Can I use raw search results without an AI-generated answer?
Yes. Choose the output depth your workflow needs: search results, extracted context, structured fields, or a grounded AI response. You keep control of the evidence and how much AI processing is applied.
Can I try the AI search API before integrating it?
Yes. Start with free monthly credits and use the API playground to inspect search controls and responses before adding the API to your application. No credit card is required to get started.
