A free web search, extract, crawl and research tool — and API

InferaWeb searches the live web, reads pages into clean text, crawls sites and researches topics — free in your browser, and as a simple API for AI agents, RAG pipelines and apps.

Search

Live results from several engines at once, merged, ranked and dated — with a quick answer drawn from many sources, not just the top link.

Extract

Paste a URL and get the page's clean text: no menus, ads or cookie banners. PDFs too. Pages that block bots are read through fallbacks.

Crawl

Read a whole site from a starting page: the pages under that path first, following the sitemap and respecting robots.txt.

Research

Search, then read every result in full — returned as one cited document, ready for an LLM or a report.

Free every month, no card

5,000 searches · 2,000 page extracts · 500 crawled pages · 200 research requests. Every API key on your account shares it.

Questions

Is InferaWeb free?+

Yes. Searching, extracting, crawling and researching on inferaweb.com is free for everyone. The API is free up to 5,000 searches, 2,000 page extracts, 500 crawled pages and 200 research requests a month — no card needed. Pay as you go and Pro ($19/month) are there when you need more.

What is a web search API for AI agents?+

An API an AI agent or app calls to search the web and read pages, getting clean text back instead of raw HTML. InferaWeb does search, extract, crawl and research in one API with one key.

How is InferaWeb different from other search APIs?+

A generous free tier that renews every month, extraction and crawling in the same API (no second scraping service), research that reads every result and returns one cited document, and simple per-1,000 pricing past the free tier. See the comparisons for details.

Does InferaWeb store what I search?+

Pages it reads are cached to make later requests faster; your API usage is counted per account for limits. Browsing on the website doesn't count toward API usage.

Can I use it from Python or JavaScript?+

Yes — it's a plain JSON REST API. Send your key in the X-API-Key header. The docs have copy-paste examples for every endpoint.
