Questions about Web search API
How much do web search API tools cost?
Prices are per request or search page, depending on the tool. You pay per use from one prepaid wallet with no subscription. Your agent sees the exact price before each run, and connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit.
Learn more about web search
Frame the question, evidence standard and time boundary before asking your agent to search. It can then retrieve current sources and explain where they agree or conflict.
Which web search API is best for grounded AI research?
The best option is the one that fits the evidence job: current source discovery, extracted page content, date filtering, research depth or citation-ready links. Describe the required outcome and let the agent compare the live tools and price before selecting one.
State the decision and evidence needed
Explain what you are trying to decide, which geography or period matters and whether you need primary sources, recent reporting, specialist commentary or a mix. Include known claims that require verification.
How do I get better evidence from a web search agent?
Ask for direct source links, publication dates and a distinction between reported facts, source claims and the agent's inference. Require primary sources for material technical, legal or product facts when available.
Search for disagreement as well as confirmation
Ask the agent to test alternative explanations, identify missing evidence and flag sources that repeat one another. A diverse-looking list can still trace back to one unsupported claim.
Example prompt
