Real-Time Web Search API for AI Agents
Decodo's /search endpoint is a fast web search API that returns organic results as structured, ready-to-parse data in under 1 second. Use it when your agent needs fresh information but doesn't have a URL yet. It finds the right sources first, so you're not stuck scraping pages blindly.

Build agents that know what's happening now
An agent that only reads pages you already know about is limited. Decodo's /search endpoint is a quick web search API that gives your agents a way to find new sources on their own, using the same key as the rest of the Web Data API.
Answer questions your training data can't
Pull current search results into your agent's context before it responds, so answers don't stop at the model's training cutoff.
Chain search into scrape or crawl
Find URLs with /search, then pull a page with /scrape or a whole site with /crawl. Two calls, one API key.
Build a research agent, not just a chatbot
Give an agent a way to look things up mid-task instead of stopping to ask the user for a link.
Get results your code can actually parse
JSON with the title, URL, snippet, and position for every result. No ads, no widgets, no HTML to clean up.
Catch outdated answers before your users do
Check model output against current search results and flag claims that have changed, like prices, versions, or release dates.
Ground a RAG pipeline in live web data
Add /search results to your retrieval setup for LLM grounding on queries your static index doesn't cover.

Frequently asked questions
What can I build with the /search endpoint?
Anything that needs current information an agent doesn't already have – a research assistant, a fact-checking layer, a RAG system that needs live grounding, or an agent that looks things up mid-task.
How is /search different from /scrape?
/scrape pulls one page you already have a URL for. Decodo's /search endpoint finds pages for you based on a query – useful when you don't have a URL yet.
What search results does this endpoint return?
Organic results, structured for easy parsing. No separate scraping step needed to make sense of the response.
Can I use /search and /scrape together?
Yes, a common pattern is finding a result with /search, then pulling its full content with /scrape, under the same key.
Is there a free plan?
Yes! You can activate your free plan with up to 10K recurring requests, no credit card required.
What is a web search API?
A web search API lets your code send a search query and get results back as structured data instead of a search results page. Decodo's /search endpoint returns the top organic results as JSON, including the title, URL, snippet, and position of each one, so an AI agent or RAG pipeline can put them to work right away.
Give Your Agents a Way to Look Things Up
/search brings live web search results into your agent's context under the same key as scrape, map, and crawl. Up to 10K free recurring requests included, no credit card required.
