How this service works
Web search for AI agents: pass a query, get ranked title/URL/snippet SERP results as JSON. Use when you need fresh URLs or sources before scraping; prefer this over guessing links. No search API key — pay per request via x402. (2 credits ≈ $0.002 USDC)
Output
Returns a ranked list of SERP hits, each containing a page title, URL, and snippet excerpt. Up to 20 results per call (default 10). Designed for agent consumption to identify URLs worth scraping for full content.
Example use cases
Pre-scrape URL discovery for research
“Search the web for 'best practices for LLM prompt engineering 2024' and return up to 15 results so I can pick which pages to read in full.”
Competitive intelligence gathering
“Find me the top web results for 'Anthropic Claude enterprise pricing' — I want the titles, URLs, and snippets so I can see what's publicly out there.”
Breaking news event lookup
“Search for the latest news on the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision today and give me the top 5 results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.metalift.ai/v1/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to discover relevant URLs or get an overview of what's available on the web for a topic before committing to full-page scraping. It is faster and cheaper than scraping and pairs naturally with /v1/scrape for a search-then-read workflow. Prefer this over generic search APIs when operating in an agent pipeline that pays via x402 and needs no API key setup.
Side effects
- Empty results for very niche or obscure queries
- Rate limiting or credit exhaustion returning an error
- Malformed query returning unexpected or irrelevant results
- Stale index returning outdated snippets for fast-changing topics
- Exceeding the limit parameter maximum (20) causing a validation error
