Request parameters

advanced_settings body · optional
Advanced configuration for source policy, fetch policy, and excerpt settings. May impact result quality and latency unless used carefully. When omitted, excerpts are enabled by default.
client_model body · optional
The model generating this request and consuming the results. Enables optimizations and tailors default settings for the model's capabilities. Example: "claude-opus-4-7"
max_chars_total body · optional
Upper bound on total characters across excerpts from all results.
mode body · optional
Search mode preset: supported values are `turbo`, `fast`, `basic`, and `advanced`. Turbo mode is optimized for the fastest responses. Use Fast mode for high quality search within a 1-second latency budget. Basic mode offers low latency and works best with 2-3 high-quality search_queries. Advanced mode provides higher quality with more advanced retrieval and compression. Defaults to `advanced` when omitted.
objective body · optional
Natural-language description of the underlying question or goal driving the search. Used together with search_queries to focus results on the most relevant content. Should be self-contained with enough context to understand the intent of the search.
search_queries body · required
Concise keyword search queries, 3-6 words each. At least one query is required, provide 2-3 for best results. Used together with objective to focus results on the most relevant content.
session_id body · optional
Session identifier to track calls across separate search and extract calls, to be used as part of a larger task. Specifying it may give better contextual results for subsequent API calls.
