Example prompt: Can you search for the official pricing page and per-request costs for the OpenAI API — I need up to 5 results for our procurement team to evaluate costs?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, web-sourced pricing intelligence for API providers — especially during procurement evaluation, budget planning, or vendor comparison. It is distinct from static databases because it performs a real-time web search, making it suitable for finding current published rates rather than historical snapshots.

## Known failure modes

- No public pricing pages found for niche or private API providers
- Search returns outdated cached pricing pages that no longer reflect current rates
- Vague query returns irrelevant results not specific to the target provider
- Max results limit reached before finding the most relevant source
- Provider uses custom enterprise pricing only, with no published rates
