Tavily
Search and research API for AI applications
- Research & knowledge · editorial fit
Overview
Tavily is a search and research API designed to supply web results to AI applications and agents. Developers call the service with a query, receive relevant sources and extracted content, and use those results as context for an application workflow.
The product is primarily an infrastructure service for developers and agent builders rather than a consumer search page. Search quality, rate limits, and plan terms depend on the API account.
