Endpoint
POSThttps://crustdata.withzero.xyz/api/v1/web/search/liveWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time external context from the web, news, academic literature, AI-synthesized results, or social media — especially for researching companies, people, funding rounds, or market events. Prefer this over cached Crustdata company/person search endpoints when freshness matters and you need information that may not be in Crustdata's internal dataset.
