Search, extract, crawl and research APIs built for AI agents and LLMs
Updated
Tavily is a web access API for AI agents and LLM applications. It provides search, content extraction, research, crawling and site mapping endpoints that return results shaped for model consumption.
Developers call the API with an API key, spend credits per request and receive structured results. Credit use depends on request type, and credits reset on the first day of each month.
Tavily is used by developers building AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation apps and research tools. The vendor runs a startup program with 100,000 free credits and free student access.
The vendor lists Researcher free with 1,000 API credits a month and no credit card, Pay As You Go at $0.008 per credit, Project at $30 a month for 4,000 credits, and Enterprise with custom limits and SLAs. Prices use dollar signs without a stated currency.
The vendor links to an integrations page but names none on the pricing page.
Exa is a neural search API aimed at AI use. You.com offers a search API alongside its consumer product. Perplexity AI is primarily an answer engine with an API. Tavily focuses on agent-ready search and extraction.
