Brave Search API provides access to Brave's independent search index (not a Google/Bing reseller) with web, news, image, and video search endpoints. Its privacy-first architecture, competitive pricing, and own crawl index make it a popular choice for AI applications that need affordable, independent web search without dependency on Big Tech indexes.
