AI BriefingCloudflare Launches Web Search API in Beta for AI Agents
Key point
The new API integrates Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup providers with Zero Data Retention and runs through AI Gateway for unified logging and billing.
Details
Cloudflare has introduced the Web Search API in beta, enabling AI agents and applications to search the Internet and ground responses in live information rather than relying on model training cutoffs.
Provider Integration and Privacy
At launch, the API supports three search providers: Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup. All three support Zero Data Retention for requests made through Cloudflare and have committed to Cloudflare's verified bot crawling standards.
Billing and Infrastructure
The Web Search API runs through AI Gateway, meaning search requests appear in gateway logs and are billed to AI Gateway credits at each provider's list API price with no additional markup. Users can also bring their own provider API key.
Implementation
Developers can access the service via REST API or directly from a Worker using the AI binding. The API allows specifying the provider, query, and result limit.
