Introduction
Search1API gives AI applications one API for discovering, reading, and structuring information from the live web.
Search1API gives AI applications live web access through one API. It combines web and news search, page crawling, site discovery, trending feeds, and schema-driven extraction behind the same base URL and API key.
Use it when an agent, RAG pipeline, or backend needs current information without maintaining search-engine adapters or scraping infrastructure.
A simple mental model
Discover
Find relevant pages with web search, recent coverage with news search, or current developer topics with trending feeds.
Read
Turn one page into clean text, fetch the top search results with crawl_results, or crawl a site asynchronously.
Structure
Extract fields from a page into a JSON shape you define.
Most agent workflows begin with /search. Add crawl_results when the model needs the source text rather than links and snippets. If you already have a URL, start with /crawl instead.
