Parallel Search

Search the web with Parallel's Search API for LLM-optimized excerpts. Every mode costs the same ($5 per 1,000 searches, plus $1 per 1,000 results beyond 10): turbo and fast trade excerpt depth for lower latency (turbo supports English and Japanese only), basic is the balanced default, and advanced is the most thorough. Legacy one-shot and agentic modes still work, running as basic and advanced. Your use is subject to Parallel AI's Terms & Privacy Policies.

Price: $5, Per 1K searches
