Tavily

What it is

Tavily is a real-time search engine for AI agents and RAG: one API covers Search, Extract, Crawl, Map and Research. `/search` — semantic search with ranked, distilled snippets (agents don't waste tokens on noise) and an optional ready `answer`; `/extract` — pulls full content from up to 20 URLs per call (clean text/markdown/images); `/crawl` — smart site traversal respecting robots.txt and dynamic content; `/map` — structure map; the Research API (GA Jan 2026) — deep multi-step research via a single endpoint with multi-agent coordination. A built-in layer blocks PII leakage, prompt injection and malicious sources; SOC 2, zero data retention. In the red* stack it's the core of quick search (redresearch quick mode) and the panels' fact-grounder — its ready answer is the basis of a grounded reply in seconds.
