What is Tavily?

Tavily gives AI agents access to current web information through APIs for search, content extraction, crawling, and research. It retrieves relevant web content and returns structured chunks that models can use as context when answering questions or completing tasks. It is designed for developers building applications that need information beyond a model’s existing knowledge.

Developers integrate Tavily into their agents and frameworks to retrieve sources and extract relevant material. Its retrieval infrastructure includes caching and indexing to support growing query volumes. Security layers screen requests and sources for sensitive personal information, prompt injection, and malicious content.

Tavily offers a free monthly credit allowance, usage-based billing, and a monthly Project plan. Enterprise arrangements include custom API usage, rate limits, support, and service-level agreements. Additional programs provide free access for students and credits for eligible startups.
