How this service works

Independent web search — web, news, images, videos, AI answers, and LLM context. Privacy-first search from a large independent index.

Output

A JSON object containing LLM-optimized web search context aggregated from up to 50 URLs, capped at a configurable token limit (default 8192), along with payment settlement details (USDC amount) and a request ID for status tracking.

Example use cases

Real-time news briefing for agent

“Search the web for breaking news about the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision from the past day and give me a concise summary — keep it under 2048 tokens.”

Research background on a company

“Pull recent web information about Anthropic's latest funding round from the past month using Brave Search, up to 10 URLs worth of context.”

Fact-check a recent claim

“Search Brave for recent articles about whether the EU passed a new AI regulation this year, and return the top results with enough context for me to verify the claim.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need web search results formatted specifically for LLM consumption, with token budget control and freshness filtering. Prefer it over generic search APIs when privacy matters (Brave's independent index avoids Google/Bing tracking), when you need to cap context size for prompt engineering, or when paying per-call via x402/USDC is acceptable. It is particularly well-suited for agents that need grounded, current web knowledge without building their own scraping pipeline.

Side effects

Empty or vague query returns low-quality or no results
Freshness filter set incorrectly returns stale or out-of-range content
Token limit too low truncates important context
Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance is available
Rate limiting or timeout if query is too broad
maximum_number_of_urls exceeding 50 causes validation error
