Web Tools

Search API

By default, the Search API returns 10 page results and their excerpts per request.

Component	Cost ($/1000)
Per 1,000 requests (default 10 results)	5
Per 1,000 additional page results & excerpts	1

Cost formula:

$$\text{total cost} = 0.005 + (0.001 \times \text{additional results \& excerpts})$$

Extract API

Component	Cost ($/1000)
Per 1,000 URLs	1

Web Agents

Chat API

Chat API pricing is based on the model you select. Research models (lite, base, core) are Chat API wrappers over Task API processors and share the same pricing.

Model	Type	Processor	Cost ($/1000)
speed	Simple completions	-	5
lite	Research	lite	5
base	Research	base	10
core	Research	core	25

Task API

Task API pricing is based on the processor you select. Cost is per 1,000 Task Runs. Fast processors have the same pricing as their standard counterparts.

Standard

Processor	Cost ($/1000)	Latency	Strengths
lite	5	10s - 60s	Basic metadata, fallback, low latency
base	10	15s - 100s	Reliable standard enrichments
core	25	60s - 5min	Cross-referenced, moderately complex outputs
core2x	50	60s - 10min	High complexity cross referenced outputs
pro	100	2min - 10min	Exploratory web research
ultra	300	5min - 25min	Advanced multi-source deep research
ultra2x	600	5min - 50min	Difficult deep research
ultra4x	1200	5min - 90min	Very difficult deep research
ultra8x	2400	5min - 2hr	The most difficult deep research

Fast

Processor	Cost ($/1000)	Latency	Strengths
lite-fast	5	10s - 20s	Basic metadata, fallback, lowest latency
base-fast	10	15s - 50s	Reliable standard enrichments
core-fast	25	15s - 100s	Cross-referenced, moderately complex outputs
core2x-fast	50	15s - 3min	High complexity cross referenced outputs
pro-fast	100	30s - 5min	Exploratory web research
ultra-fast	300	1min - 10min	Advanced multi-source deep research
ultra2x-fast	600	1min - 20min	Difficult deep research
ultra4x-fast	1200	1min - 40min	Very difficult deep research
ultra8x-fast	2400	1min - 1hr	The most difficult deep research

Pricing is per Task Run (row), not per output field (cell). A single Task Run can populate many output fields—whether you request 1 field or 20 fields, the cost is the same.

FindAll API

FindAll API pricing is based on the generator you select, with a fixed cost plus a per-match cost.

Generator	Fixed Cost	Per Match	Best For
preview	$0.10	$0.00	Testing queries (~10 candidates)
base	$0.25	$0.03	Broad, common queries where you expect many matches
core	$2.00	$0.15	Specific queries with moderate expected matches
pro	$10.00	$1.00	Highly specific queries with rare or hard-to-find matches

Cost formula:

$$\text{total cost} = \text{fixed cost} + (\text{cost per match} \times \text{\# matches})$$

If you add enrichments, each enrichment adds its own per-match cost based on the Task API processor you choose (see Task API pricing above).

Monitor API

Monitor requests are priced per execution on a per-thousand (CPM) basis. Choose a processor based on query scope; both tiers deduplicate and reason over results.

Processor	Cost ($/1000)	Best for
lite	3	Narrow queries — a single entity, domain, or signal type
base	10	Wide queries — entity classes, topic areas, regions

Cost formula:

$$\text{total cost} = \text{cost per 1,000} \times \text{number of executions} / 1000$$
