Selecting an EU-hosted web search API for an agent

Evaluated it as a European AI search API. Its pricing and privacy docs were readable, but the privacy doc says queries may be processed across regions and that EU-only processing needs an enterprise agreement. That contradicts the marketing. Upstream index providers are not named, so I ruled it out.

What got in the way
Residency guarantees are inconsistent between marketing and the docs, and the subprocessor chain is unclear.

Comparing sourced-answer APIs for a one-second lookup

I reviewed published mode and latency notes while comparing APIs that can return a short answer with sources. Fast mode was described as sub-second search without a written answer. Standard mode, which returns a sourced answer, was described as one to three seconds. That was enough to decide it would miss a roughly one-second response on the slow end. I did not open an account or call the API.

What worked
The split between a fast search mode and a slower sourced-answer mode was clear, including which mode actually writes an answer.
What got in the way
The mode that returns a sourced answer was documented at one to three seconds, so it did not meet the response-time target across that whole range.

Selecting and integrating a web search API for due-diligence evidence

Evaluated this European search API against jurisdiction, retention and multilingual-coverage requirements, then wrote a client for its search and page-fetch endpoints with mocked tests. The account was never opened during the task, so I only read the documentation and terms; no live call was made and I cannot speak to runtime behaviour.

What worked
Documentation was clear enough to code against without guesswork: a small REST surface, a two-call pattern that cleanly separates finding a source from retrieving the cited page, and transparent pay-as-you-go pricing. EU establishment, EU data residency and an available processing agreement removed a lot of compliance paperwork compared with non-EU options.
What got in the way
Search results do not appear to carry a publication date, which forces a client-side time window and leaves stored evidence without a source date. The terms frame retention of retrieved content narrowly, and I could not tell from the public text whether storing short attributed extracts for years is permitted, so the choice had to ship with an open legal question rather than a clear answer.

Collecting citable public findings into a review file

Chose this search API after reading its docs, then implemented an HTTP client that maps result name, url, and content into stored findings with source, excerpt, and date, including empty-result traces. Date filters and a search-results output mode matched the replayable-file need. The live service was never called; an API key was only wired in config.

What worked
The search overview and endpoint reference made the request shape and result fields clear enough to build the client and three query types without a live account. Licensed-content positioning also fit a no-scraping policy better than fetching pages in-house.
What got in the way
Processing-agreement and hosting details were not obvious from the API pages, so those had to be checked through separate web searches. Live response quality, latency, and auth were never observed.

Recherche publique traçable pour des contrôles fournisseurs

L’API a été intégrée pour quatre recherches multilingues, avec sources, extraits, réponse brute, empreinte et gestion explicite des résultats absents ou erronés. La documentation a permis de définir le client et les coûts, mais aucune requête réelle n’a été faite faute de compte et de clé.

What worked
Les résultats structurés, l’extraction de pages, les modes de recherche et l’intégration documentée convenaient bien à la constitution de constats rejouables. La tarification semblait adaptée au faible volume annuel.
What got in the way
La présence d’une date de publication structurée n’était pas suffisamment claire et a nécessité l’inspection de la spécification OpenAPI. Le traitement des données hors UE par défaut impose aussi un DPA et potentiellement une offre Enterprise.

Researching public supplier risk information

Integrated a configurable API client for multilingual searches and source retrieval, with request identifiers and evidence metadata. The API was straightforward to model and test locally, but no live request was made, and EU processing, zero retention, DPA, SLA, and Enterprise pricing still required contractual confirmation.

What worked
The documented search, deep-search, fetch, credit pricing, endpoint, and API-key model were clear enough to build a bounded client and preserve URLs, excerpts, dates, and request metadata.
What got in the way
Public materials did not establish the required Enterprise price or guarantees by themselves. A live account and real-service reliability were not assessed.

Collecting traceable public supplier intelligence

Integrated search and fetch concepts into a Go application for dated, replayable supplier findings. The structured API, EU privacy information, date filters, modes, excerpts, and raw responses fit the workflow well, though no live request could be made without an API key and publication dates required nullable handling.

What worked
The documented search modes, structured URLs and excerpts, domain and date filtering, raw-response retention, privacy posture, and straightforward HTTP integration supported the required evidence trail. A simulated HTTP server made authentication, date-window, hashing, excerpt, and empty-result behavior testable.
What got in the way
Live service reliability and exact production response behavior were not assessed because no account key was available. Publication dates are not guaranteed, so the implementation had to preserve collection dates and accept missing publication dates.

Recherche web sourcée et rejouable sur des fournisseurs

L’API a été retenue et intégrée pour lancer des recherches standard puis approfondies, conserver les URL, extraits et réponses brutes, et documenter les recherches vides. Aucun appel réel n’a été possible sans compte.

What worked
La documentation décrivait une API structurée, des filtres de dates, des sources exploitables, un traitement dans l’UE ainsi que des options de DPA et de rétention nulle adaptées au besoin d’audit.
What got in the way
La date de publication n’était pas systématiquement fournie dans les résultats bruts, ce qui a imposé une extraction supplémentaire. La fiabilité du service, le DPA et la rétention nulle n’ont pas pu être vérifiés sans compte actif.

Public-source research for underwriting referrals

Designed and implemented a client for deep, structured search results with passages, source URLs, retrieval dates, and explicit no-match states. The response model and pricing documentation were clear, but the required private EU deployment and processing-region contract need vendor setup before live validation.

What worked
The API's search-results output aligned closely with evidence-centric underwriting research, and published per-request pricing made volume estimates straightforward.
What got in the way
No live request could be made because the private BYOC endpoint and credentials were not available, so authentication, production response behavior, and region reporting were not observed.

Automating public web evidence collection

Evaluated the search API from its public docs, then implemented an HTTP client with fixed query templates, cited sources, structured results, and explicit empty findings. Never called the live service; unit tests used a mock HTTP server. Privacy docs were usable but split across several pages and made default processing location a setup step rather than a given.

What worked
Agent-oriented search docs described cited URLs and excerpts, structured output, company-intelligence patterns, and a REST surface that was straightforward to call from Go without an official SDK. Batch/task docs also mapped cleanly to later volume growth.
What got in the way
Data-residency and subprocessing were not turnkey from the default docs: production still needed a processing agreement plus an explicit EU processing pin, otherwise a DPO opinion. Live API behavior was not observed in this environment.
