AI-native deep research and search API for finding, extracting, and analyzing information across the web.
AI-native deep research and search API for finding, extracting, and analyzing information across the web. Use when a workflow needs verified factual answers, structured data extraction from URLs, or automated research tasks that go beyond simple search. Tasks and findall are async with polling.4 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Parallel API docs for full documentation.
Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.
