Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://archtools.dev/v1/tools/search-webWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when your agent needs live, up-to-date web search results that go beyond static training data — especially for recent events, news, or rapidly changing information. It is well-suited for workflows that need to retrieve URLs and snippets for a query programmatically and integrate with other Arch Tools endpoints (e.g. extract-page or extract-pdf for follow-up content extraction). Prefer this over static knowledge bases when freshness matters.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query returns no useful results
- Query string is missing — returns 400 validation error
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion causing failures
- Payment not processed or USDC balance insufficient — returns 402
- External search backend unavailable causing 5xx errors
- Limit parameter set to 0 or negative integer may cause unexpected behavior
