A developer list of currently available LLM APIs which are also capable of connecting to the internet: https://github.com/vadimen/awesome_llm_api_with_web_search. Contains the available models and their prices. Because there are not many such providers, I thought it could be useful to have this list.
Everybody is welcome to contribute with a PR.
Most LLMs (like ChatGPT and Claude) do not offer web search via API. I’ve been using perplexity but the quality of the results is not great.
You.com has a great “research mode” API, but I contacted their team and the minimum commitment is 10k a year to use their API.
Just for context, I’m creating a product to map competitor’s websites and create battle cards based on all the public info available about the company.
Do you have any suggestions or tips on the best solutions to use for this?
Hello everyone! Given a Windows PC that can run an LLM (Qwen3 for example) is there a robust and easy way to allow this model to search info on the web? Ideal solution for this would be to have a tool like LM Studio that allows me to talk to a model and make it search things for me.
Any advice or (preferably) a working configuration is welcome!
Thank you!
I've had a look around, and it seems quite limited.
On ChatGPT, you can use their GUI to request the model to search the web for results. However, through the python API, there aren't any features like such (difference between ChatGPT and GPT).
So I'im wondering if any LLM API services have this built-in?
Or perhaps if anyone has had success using a search engine API + an LLM provider?
I'm working on an AI assistant for a side project - nothing huge, just a research assistant that summarizes recent content from the web. The main issue I'm running into is data quality. Most search APIs either return raw HTML (which breaks token limits), or strip out too much context and lose meaning.
Ive been using Google custom search plus manual scraping but managing both separately requires heavy cleaning before feeding results into the model. I just want structured snippets that can be used directly inside the LLM's context window. Is there any API or service that does this well, something built more for AI agent workflows instead of traditional keyword search? Basically a plug-and-play API for AI workflows.
