# AWS opens direct web search API in six regions

_Published Monday, November 9, 2026 at 7:16 PM EST · AI · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS has made a direct web search API generally available on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, allowing applications and data pipelines to retrieve results without creating gateway resources. Search was previously available through AgentCore Gateway as a tool using the Model Context Protocol.

The API returns ranked results from Amazon's web index, with text extracts and available page metadata. Requests can filter by domain and publication time. AWS charges $7 per 1,000 queries, matching gateway search pricing but without gateway charges. The API is available in six regions and supports private network access through AWS PrivateLink.
