Deep Search
We have introduced a new feature called “Deep Search” that enhances the search capabilities of Search1API. This mode is controlled by the crawl_results parameter and offers the following benefits:
- In addition to providing search summaries, Deep Search can now crawl and return the full text content of the search results.
- While the Deep Search mode may be slower compared to regular searches, it is particularly useful for in-depth searches where more comprehensive information is required.
- Each successful crawl will consume one additional credit. For example: Regular search: 1 credit Deep Search with 3 results: 1 credit (search) + up to 3 credits (successful crawls) If crawl fails for some results, those credits won’t be consumed
Batch Processing
- Support passing multiple search requests in the form of arrays for parallel batch processing, which is faster!
Reasoning (Beta)
We’re excited to introduce our new Reasoning feature, which brings advanced AI capabilities to Search1API. This feature combines large language models with automatic web search functionality to provide intelligent, context-aware responses.
