FAQPage Schema
How do I get concise web search results for AI agent research?▼

AI-optimized web search APIs retrieve concise, relevant content for AI agent research and decision making. By querying these APIs, you gather lightweight, ingestion-ready web data to accelerate knowledge collection without processing raw HTML.

Can I extract content from a specific URL for my knowledge base?▼

Yes, you can extract content directly from specific URLs to build knowledge bases or research notes. A dedicated extraction workflow pulls the core content from web pages, providing clean text for your AI workflows instead of just search snippets.

Does deep web searching return more detailed information for AI workflows?▼

Deep web searching returns more detailed and comprehensive information for AI workflows. By enabling a deep search mode, the API probes further into web content, providing richer data for complex knowledge gathering compared to standard lightweight queries.

What is the best way to limit the number of web search results returned?▼

The best way to limit web search results is by using a specific CLI option to set the maximum number of returns. This controls the payload size, ensuring your AI agent only processes the top most relevant links for rapid information retrieval.
