Searches Brave's independent news index for recent articles matching a query, with optional country filtering and freshness controls, billed per-call via x402 micropayments.
Independent web search — web, news, images, videos, AI answers, and LLM context. Privacy-first search from a large independent index.
A JSON object containing a 'data' field with news search results from Brave's index (articles, titles, URLs, publication dates, snippets), along with a 'payment' field confirming the settled USDC amount and a 'request' field with a unique request ID and status URL for tracking.
POSThttps://brave.x402.paywithlocus.com/brave/news-searchChoose this endpoint when you specifically need news content (rather than general web pages, images, or video) and want results from Brave's independent, privacy-first index rather than Google or Bing. It is ideal for agents that need current-events grounding, headline monitoring, or journalism research without tracking. The freshness and country filters make it well-suited for geo-specific or time-bounded news queries. Prefer this over general web search endpoints when the user's intent is clearly about news articles.
| Field | Type | Description |

| q | string | |

| freshness | string |
