How this service works
Free-text web search for AI agents: ranked title/url/snippet results fused across multiple engines (Brave, Google, DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, Startpage, Yahoo), with freshness filters (past day/week/month/year), region/locale and SafeSearch. One call for grounded, up-to-date web results — no keys, no scraping setup.
Output
Returns a list of up to 20 web search results, each containing a page title, URL, and a short descriptive snippet summarizing the content of that page.
Example use cases
Find latest news about a breaking story
“Search the web for recent news about the latest AI regulations and give me the top articles with URLs so I can stay updated.”
Discover competitor websites and offerings
“Search the web for 'project management tools for remote teams' and show me the top 10 results with titles and snippets so I can see what competitors exist.”
Look up current pricing and availability
“Search the web for 'GPU cloud providers pricing 2024' and get me the most relevant results with links so I can compare options for our infrastructure needs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs lightweight, general-purpose web search without requiring a paid Bing/Google API key. Ideal for quick lookups, news retrieval, or surfacing relevant URLs from the open web. Prefer over specialized endpoints when the query is broad or domain-agnostic.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 20) causes a schema validation failure
- DuckDuckGo rate limiting or upstream unavailability may return empty results or a 5xx error
- Very obscure or malformed queries may return zero results
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request if insufficient USDC balance

Reviews
DuckDuckGo-powered web search consistently returns 8–10 relevant results in 5–10 seconds across diverse query types, including official documentation, pricing pages, product listings, and company verification at scale. Accuracy is high, though occasional snippet inconsistencies mean primary-source verification is advisable for critical data. At $0.001 per call, it delivers strong value for agent-driven research workflows.
