Search the web, platforms, and proprietary datasets. Pick the best API for the task — or combine several for comprehensive results.
Best for: General web search, deep research reports, site mapping, and crawling.
Search the web:
orth run tavily /search --body '{
"query": "latest developments in AI agents",
"search_depth": "advanced",
"include_answer": true,
"max_results": 10
}'
Deep research (async — returns a report with citations):
# Step 1: Start research task
orth run tavily /research --body '{"input": "Compare AI agent frameworks for production use", "model": "pro"}'
# Step 2: Poll for results using request_id
orth run tavily /research/{request_id}
Map a website (discover all URLs):
orth run tavily /map --body '{"url": "https://docs.example.com", "limit": 200}'
Crawl a website (extract content from multiple pages):
orth run tavily /crawl --body '{
"url": "https://docs.example.com",
"max_depth": 3,
"limit": 50
}'
Key parameters: search_depth (basic/fast/advanced/ultra-fast), topic (general/news), time_range (day/week/month/year), include_domains/exclude_domains, include_answer, include_raw_content, country.
Best for: Finding similar content, semantic/embeddings-based search, category-filtered search (people, companies), and deep research.
Neural web search:
orth run exa /search --body '{
"query": "startups building AI coding assistants",
"numResults": 10,
"type": "auto",
"contents": {"text": true}
}'
Find similar pages:
orth run exa /findSimilar --body '{
"url": "https://example.com/article",
"numResults": 10,
"contents": {"text": true}
}'
Get a sourced AI answer:
orth run exa /answer --body '{"query": "What are the best practices for prompt engineering?"}'
Get page contents:
orth run exa /contents --body '{"urls": ["https://example.com"], "text": true, "summary": true}'
Deep research (async):
# Step 1: Create task
orth run exa /research/v1 --body '{"instructions": "Research the current state of AI coding assistants", "model": "exa-research-pro"}'
# Step 2: Poll with researchId
orth run exa /research/v1/{researchId}
Key parameters: type (auto/neural/fast/deep), category (people/company), includeDomains/excludeDomains, startPublishedDate/endPublishedDate, includeText/excludeText.
Best for: Quick, high-quality web search with intelligent ranking and instant answers. Low latency.
orth run andi /v1/search --query 'q=how%20does%20RAG%20work&depth=deep&limit=20'
Key parameters: q (query), limit (1-100), depth (fast/deep), intent (NewsSearchIntent, VideoSearchIntent, ImageSearchIntent), dateRange (day/week/month/year), includeDomains/excludeDomains, country, language.
Best for: Natural language questions, sourced answers with citations, structured output.
Search with sourced answer:
orth run linkup /search --body '{
"q": "What are the latest AI agent frameworks?",
"depth": "deep",
"outputType": "sourcedAnswer"
}'
Structured output search:
orth run linkup /search --body '{
"q": "Top 5 AI startups in 2025",
"depth": "deep",
"outputType": "structured",
"structuredOutputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"startups": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {"type": "string"},

}
}
}
}
}
}'
Key parameters: q (natural language question), depth (standard/deep), outputType (searchResults/sourcedAnswer/structured), fromDate/toDate, includeDomains/excludeDomains, maxResults.
Best for: Searching across web, academic/proprietary datasets, and news. AI-generated answers. Deep research tasks.
