Brave Search API

Brave Search API is a high-performance search infrastructure tool developed by Brave Software, Inc. It offers a privacy-centric alternative to mainstream search engines by providing programmatic access to a massive, independent web index of over 30 billion pages. The product is designed for developers to power AI chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and search-enabled applications without relying on big-tech surveillance or data tracking.

The service is developed and maintained in the United States, utilizing an infrastructure built from the ground up to ensure results are independent of Google or Bing's indexing. It features specialized endpoints such as Goggles for custom re-ranking and AI summaries for grounded answers, aiming to offer competitive search quality while maintaining the core privacy values of the Brave brand.
