Search for AI agents.Faster, and 5× cheaper.
Our own continuously refreshed index, a calibrated relevance score on every result, and drop-in compatibility with the Exa and Tako SDKs. Keep your code. Cut your search bill by 80%.

Output

We read before we rank
Headlines propose; the article decides. In Normal and Deep modes we open the top candidates and verify them. What doesn’t hold up never reaches your context window.

Structured answers, per result
Ask typed questions — yes/no, multiple choice, 1–5 scores — and get calibrated answers on every result, in the same call. No second LLM pass. No parsing prose.

The index
Our own index. Not a reseller’s wrapper.
We crawl, refresh and rank our own index. Sources are re-read every few minutes from their news sitemaps and feeds, so what’s published at 9:02 is searchable by 9:05 — in the language it was written.
- Freshness you can filter byEvery result carries its publication time and source. Filter by the hour, not the week.
- Deep where others are thinLocal and regional press across Latin America and Europe — not just the English-language web.
- Publisher-safe by designWe honor robots.txt, return short verbatim excerpts, and never redistribute full articles.

Beyond ten blue links
Everything your agent needs from the news, in one call.
Tone, relative to your query
Positive, neutral or negative about what you asked — per result and per source. One scale for news, blogs and social.
One story, one result
The same wire story told by ten outlets collapses into one result, with the duplicates attached.
Who published first
Coverage by day and by source, and who broke it. Computed from the index at no extra cost.
Essentials, never invented
Up to three verbatim excerpts from different sources. We quote; we don’t write. Zero hallucinated summaries.
Hard cost caps
Set a budget per request. We return what fits and mark the response incomplete — never a surprise invoice.
Live site search
Search any site right now: its homepage, the sections worth reading and its own search box, in parallel.
Migration
Switch in two lines. Keep everything else.
One compatibility layer per provider: same parameters, same response shape, same errors. Point your official SDK at us and ship.
- Same shapes, same errorsResponses and error formats match each provider. Your parsing code doesn’t change.
- Nothing breaks silentlyParameters we don’t support are accepted and reported in X-Compat-Warnings instead of failing the request.
- Our extras ride alongTone, essentials, modes and cost caps travel in one extra field of the same request.

Production
Boring where it matters.
Versioned contract
/v1 only changes by adding. Anything breaking ships as /v2, with notice.
Quotas and limits per key
Daily quotas and per-minute limits on every key, visible in real time through the usage API.
Errors you can program against
RFC 9457 problem details, stable error codes and a request ID on every response.
Keys hashed at rest
We store a hash, never your key. Rotate and revoke anytime.
OpenAPI 3.1
The contract is generated from the same schemas that validate every request.
Streaming built in
JSON or server-sent events on every search endpoint, with partial results as they land.

Questions, answered
Is it really 5× cheaper?
Yes, on list price. Search is $1.40 per 1,000 requests; Exa and Tako both list $7. Deep search is $2.40 against $12–15, and contents $0.20 against $1 per 1,000 pages. Put your own volume in the calculator above.
Will my Exa or Tako code break?
It shouldn’t. We run the official SDKs — Python and JavaScript — against our compatibility layers: 25 of 25 test cases pass by changing only the base URL and the key. Anything we don’t support is accepted and reported in a response header, not thrown as an error.
What’s in the index?
News and editorial content, crawled and refreshed by us every few minutes, with deep coverage of local and regional press in Latin America and Europe. The sources endpoint returns the live list.
Do you generate answers or summaries?
No, on purpose. We return evidence: ranked, verified, with verbatim excerpts. If you need prose, your model writes it — grounded in results that can’t be hallucinated.
What’s the catch?
Two honest limits: we return short excerpts instead of full page text, and we don’t offer people, company or academic-paper indexes. If those are core to your product, keep them where they are and move the rest of your search to us.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Every new account gets $5 in free credit, about 3,571 searches on any endpoint, valid for 30 days. No card needed. Your first top-up gets 20% extra, up to $20.
