Who are we?

We're a team of AI researchers and developers passionate about helping you build the next generation of AI assistants. Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations with accurate, unbiased, and factual information through the power of Google search.

What is WebSearchAPI.ai?

Building an AI agent that leverages realtime online information is not a simple task. Scraping doesn't scale and requires expertise to refine, and many search engine APIs don't provide explicit information to queries but simply potential related articles.

WebSearchAPI.ai is a search engine optimized for LLMs, aimed at efficient, quick and persistent search results. By leveraging Google's powerful search capabilities, WebSearchAPI.ai focuses on optimizing search for AI developers and autonomous AI agents. We take care of all the burden of searching, filtering and extracting the most relevant information from online sources. All in a single API call!

To try the API in action, you can use our interactive API Playground.

Why choose WebSearchAPI.ai?

WebSearchAPI.ai combines the power and relevance of Google search with optimizations specifically designed for AI applications, delivering superior results where other solutions fall short.

How does the Search API work?

Traditional search APIs retrieve search results based on a user query. However, the results are sometimes irrelevant to the goal of the search, and return simple URLs and snippets of content which are not always relevant.

The WebSearchAPI.ai Search API aggregates multiple high-quality sources per a single API call, and uses proprietary AI to score, filter and rank the top most relevant sources and content to your task, query or goal. In addition, WebSearchAPI.ai allows developers to add custom fields such as context and limit response tokens to enable the optimal search experience for LLMs.

WebSearchAPI.ai can also help your AI agent make better decisions by including a short answer for cross-agent communication.

Advanced Crawling Capabilities

Unlike traditional search APIs that only return links and brief snippets, WebSearchAPI.ai goes further by automatically crawling the pages in your search results. Our advanced crawling technology:

• Extracts full content from web pages in your search results
• Converts complex web content into clean, structured markdown
• Filters out unnecessary elements like ads, navigation menus, and footers
• Preserves important information including headings, lists, and tables
• Makes content immediately usable for AI analysis without additional processing

This means you not only receive relevant search results but also the complete, structured content from those pages - ready to be fed directly into your LLM without additional crawling or processing steps.
