How this service works
Plain web search. Returns ranked results (title, URL and a short snippet) for a query, up to 10, optionally limited to a publish-date range with since and until (YYYY-MM-DD). No AI-written answer, so it is fast: typically under a second. If it cannot return results you get an error and are not charged.
Output
A JSON object with the original query string and an array of up to 10 result objects, each containing a title, URL, and short snippet. Results are ranked by relevance. If no results are found or an error occurs, you receive an error response and are not charged.
Example use cases
Breaking news research for a topic
“Search the web for 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and show me the top 5 results published since 2025-01-01 so I can see what's been reported.”
Competitive intelligence gathering
“Find me up to 10 web results for 'Stripe vs Adyen payment processing fees' — I want raw search results with titles and snippets, no synthesized answer.”
Fact-finding before a meeting
“Search for 'lithium battery recycling regulations EU 2024' and give me the top 7 results published between 2024-01-01 and 2024-12-31.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://bob.assimilatethis.com/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need fast, raw web search results without any AI-generated synthesis — ideal when you want source URLs and snippets to process yourself, when speed matters (sub-second), when cost per call is a factor ($0.003 USDC), or when you need to filter results by publication date. Prefer over AI-answer endpoints (like Bob's /answer endpoint) when you need verifiable sources, want to avoid hallucination risk from summarization, or are building a pipeline that will process results downstream.
Side effects
- No results found for the query — returns an error, no charge applied
- Invalid date format for since/until parameters — expects strict YYYY-MM-DD
- n out of range (must be 1–10) — may return an error or default
- Network timeout on the upstream search provider — returns error
- Overly broad or ambiguous query returning low-quality snippets
