Tavily

What it does

Tavily is a web access layer for AI agents. It provides a secure API for real-time search, extraction, crawling, and research. Results are returned structured and chunked for models, so agents can reason over live web facts.

Tavily gives AI agents a way to reach the live web through one API. The homepage lists search, extract, crawl, and research as the main actions, and says results come back structured and chunked for models. It also states that requests pass through security, privacy, and content validation layers that block PII leakage, prompt injection, and malicious sources. The pricing page describes a Researcher plan at no cost with 1,000 API credits per month and no credit card required. It also lists a Pay As You Go plan at $0.008 per credit, a Project plan with 4,000 API credits per month, and a custom Enterprise plan. Credits reset on the first day of each month. If monthly credits run out, requests stop until they reset or you upgrade. API credits are consumed by request type, and more advanced or higher-volume requests use more credits. The site says Tavily is trusted by 3M+ developers and handles 300M+ monthly requests. It does not state that the software is open source, so that remains unknown.
