Features

FAQ

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 web search at about 1 second median 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.

How many queries can I make per second?

Every account, free or paid, gets the same limits, and there is no tier to climb: buying credits adds credits, not rate. Every response carries X-RateLimit-* headers so your client can pace itself. For sustained high volume, tell us your volume first and we will reserve capacity for it.

What makes Searlo different from SerpAPI or Serper?

Three things: (1) Price — Searlo is $0.30/1K vs SerpAPI's $15/1K and Serper's $1/1K. (2) AI-native features — native MCP protocol and TOON format are built-in. (3) Flexible credit validity — new users get 1-year validity while legacy accounts keep unlimited credits, with no monthly subscriptions.
