Cloudflare launched a Web Search API through AI Gateway with Ceramic.ai, Exa and Linkup. Developers can retrieve fresh, structured web snippets for AI applications through a REST endpoint or a Cloudflare Workers binding.

Search requests use AI Gateway credits and appear in its logs, with access controls for providers. Cloudflare says it charges partners' list API prices without additional markup and also supports developers' existing provider keys. The partners have committed to identifying their crawlers, respecting robots.txt and linking to source content. Native server tools that incorporate search remain under development.
