Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best search API for AI agents?+
Searlo is purpose-built for AI agents with native MCP protocol support, TOON format (60% fewer tokens), and sub-300ms latency. It works with CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Claude MCP out of the box. At $0.30/1K queries, it's also the most cost-effective option for agent workflows that make frequent searches.
How do I add web search to my RAG pipeline?+
With Searlo, you make a single API call to get structured Google results. The response includes titles, snippets, URLs, and optional TOON format — all ready for vector embedding or direct LLM consumption. Works with LangChain's WebSearchRetriever, LlamaIndex's web search reader, or any custom HTTP-based pipeline.
Can I use Searlo for rank tracking?+
Yes. Searlo provides exact organic positions, featured snippets, People Also Ask, AI Overviews, and local pack data for any keyword across 150+ countries. You can track mobile vs desktop rankings separately and detect when Google shows AI Overviews for your keywords.
How many queries can I make per second?+
Free tier allows 5 requests/second (1,000/day). Paid tiers scale up to 30 requests/second and 150,000/day on Enterprise. Your tier auto-upgrades as you purchase credits — Micro (7 req/s), Starter (10 req/s), Builder (14 req/s), Scale (18 req/s), Pro (24 req/s). Each request averages ~300ms response time, so you can process thousands of queries per minute.
