POST
Search the web
Search the open web and get back a lean result list. ⚠️ Despite being a POST, parameters go in the query string —
query (required), max_num_results (default 10, max 100), and as_ylo/as_yhi for a year range. A JSON body is not accepted. Returns a search id and results[] carrying only title, link and snippet. Measured at about 4 seconds for a roughly 600-byte response. Its virtue is how little it returns, which suits an agent that only needs to know what exists. It gives you no page text — if you need the content, post_tavily_search returns it in the same call. Keep the id: it is what post_scholar_search_explain needs.
Scholar search endpoints use
POST with parameters in the query string. Do not send query or max_num_results as a JSON or form body.Example
Authorizations
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.
