How this service works
Web search that returns page text ready for an LLM prompt. Picks the passages most relevant to q from the top results and groups them by source URL. Use it to ground an answer in current web content without fetching pages. Size the context with maximum_number_of_tokens and maximum_number_of_urls.
Output
A structured object containing a 'grounding' field with an array of source entries, each including the page URL, title, and an array of relevant text snippets extracted from that page. A 'sources' map provides hostname and title metadata per URL. Results are pre-ranked by relevance to the query and sized to fit within the requested token and URL limits.
Example use cases
Real-time fact grounding for chatbot
“Search Brave for 'current mortgage interest rates US June 2025' and pull back grounding passages from up to 15 URLs, keeping the response under 6000 tokens, so I can cite accurate figures in my answer.”
Breaking news research for AI summary
“Look up 'OpenAI GPT-5 release announcement' on Brave and get me the most relevant snippets from recent pages — limit to 20 sources and 8192 tokens — so I can summarize what's actually been announced.”
Competitive intelligence for product team
“Search Brave for 'Notion AI vs Obsidian AI features comparison 2025' restricted to English results from the US, and return grounding passages from the top 10 URLs under 5000 tokens so I can brief the product team.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://search.agent.s.brave.app/res/v1/llm/context?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need web search results already chunked and ranked into LLM-ready passages — it saves the round trip of fetching raw pages and parsing them yourself. Prefer it over raw web search endpoints when your goal is to inject grounded context directly into an LLM prompt with a controllable token budget. It is ideal when freshness of web content matters and you want multi-source grounding without managing HTML parsing or snippet extraction yourself.
