    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about Desearch AI Search API

    Desearch AI Search combines real-time web data with AI-powered summarization. Instead of just returning links, you get intelligently synthesized answers with proper source citations. Our decentralized infrastructure also ensures higher reliability and lower costs.

    When you make an API call, we search across multiple sources (web, ArXiv, Hacker News, Reddit, etc.), then use advanced language models to synthesize the information into a coherent summary. Each claim is linked back to its source for verification.

    AI Search can query the general web, academic papers (ArXiv), Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia, and more. You can specify which sources to include in each request using the 'tools' parameter.

    Yes! We support Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses. Set 'streaming': true in your request to receive the AI summary token by token as it's generated, providing a better user experience for real-time applications.

    Each search includes the full AI summarization, source retrieval, and citation generation. There are no hidden fees for AI processing or source access. You only pay for the searches you make.

    AI Search queries fresh data in real-time. Unlike some providers that rely on cached or indexed data, we fetch current information at the time of your request, ensuring you always get the latest results.

    Absolutely! AI Search is ideal for Retrieval-Augmented Generation. The structured response format with sources makes it easy to integrate into your RAG pipeline, and the AI summaries can serve as pre-processed context for your models.

    Free tier users get 100 requests per minute. Paid plans have higher limits based on your subscription level. For enterprise needs with custom rate limits, contact our sales team.

    The API returns standard HTTP status codes. We recommend implementing exponential backoff for rate limit errors (429). Our documentation includes code examples for proper error handling in Python, JavaScript, and other languages.

    Yes, we offer official SDKs for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript. These handle authentication, streaming, and error handling automatically. Check our documentation for installation and usage guides.

    I just connected mine to Bittensor TAO subnet 22, Desearch, with an API endpoint for X data to help me with subnet analysis.

    The results are getting where they should be.

    SN22 is becoming an intelligence layer for agents. And behind agents come predictions, then portfolio management.

    Revenue and aligned incentives. The market probably hasn't fully priced this yet.

    The forecasting environments just got richer.

    Starting this Thursday, miners can choose to take on the cost of news retrieval via Desearch.

    With the Desearch API, Vericore pulls signals from X and Reddit to verify miner outputs, while miners use the same API to add context and deliver better results.

    Vericore's predictive evidence gathering with AI scoring becomes more comprehensive.
