Tavily provides a search and content extraction API designed specifically for AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows. Unlike general-purpose search APIs, Tavily returns pre-processed, AI-optimized results with summaries and citations, reducing the need for agents to parse raw HTML. It supports both basic and advanced search depths and integrates natively with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other agent frameworks. The correct base URL for the API is api.tavily.com; the company's main site is tavily.com. Key features: - Search API returning AI-ready summaries and citations (not raw HTML) - Basic and Advanced search modes at 1 and 2 credits respectively - Content extraction API for targeted URL scraping - Native LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations - Domain allow/block filtering for tailored searches - 1,000 free API credits/month on the free tier
