# Tavily > Tavily is a real-time web search, extraction, crawling, and research API built for AI agents and LLM-powered applications. Tavily is a production-grade web access layer for AI agents, providing real-time search, content extraction, web crawling, and deep research through a single secure API. Trusted by over 1 million developers, Tavily delivers structured, fresh web context that keeps AI agents grounded and reduces hallucinations. It handles 100M+ monthly requests with 99.99% uptime and a p50 latency of 180ms on search, making it one of the fastest retrieval stacks available. In February 2026, Tavily announced it is joining [Nebius](/tools/nebius), an AI infrastructure company that builds compute, cloud, and platform services for production-scale AI systems. The move pairs Nebius's global cloud infrastructure with Tavily's web access layer, essentially combining the compute backbone with the retrieval layer that agentic systems need. For existing customers, the Tavily API, data policies, and zero data retention commitments remain unchanged. Over time, Nebius backing is expected to bring improved latency, higher uptime, and better support for large-scale enterprise deployments. - **Real-Time Web Search** — *Query the live web and receive structured, chunked results optimized for LLM consumption, grounding agents in up-to-date facts.* - **Content Extraction** — *Extract relevant content from any URL, returning clean, structured data ready for model ingestion without noise or boilerplate.* - **Web Crawling** — *Crawl entire websites or domains at scale, indexing billions of pages for downstream agent workflows.* - **Deep Research Endpoint** — *Use the `/research` endpoint to perform multi-step, autonomous research tasks that synthesize information across many sources.* - **Production-Grade Reliability** — *A 99.99% SLA, intelligent caching, and real-time indexing keep latency predictable as traffic scales to millions of requests.* - **Built-In Security & Privacy** — *All requests pass through security, privacy, and content validation layers that block PII leakage, prompt injection, and malicious sources.* - **Drop-In LLM Integrations** — *Native integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, LangChain, and more make it easy to add web grounding to existing agent pipelines.* - **Benchmarked Performance** — *Tavily leads on SimpleQA (93.3% accuracy), Document Relevance, GAIA, and DeepResearch benchmarks against competing search providers.* - **Flexible Pricing** — *Start free with 1,000 API credits/month, scale with pay-as-you-go at $0.008/credit, or upgrade to a Project or Enterprise plan for higher limits.* - **MCP & Marketplace Support** — *Available on Databricks MCP Marketplace and integrated into JetBrains, IBM WatsonX, and other enterprise platforms.* ## Features - Real-time web search - Content extraction - Web crawling - Deep research endpoint - Intelligent caching - Structured output for LLMs - PII leakage protection - Prompt injection blocking - 99.99% uptime SLA - 180ms p50 search latency - MCP marketplace support - Drop-in LLM provider integrations - Rate limit controls - Enterprise-grade security and privacy - Student free tier ## Integrations OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, LangChain, MongoDB, IBM WatsonX, JetBrains, AWS, Databricks, Cohere, Monday, Writer, BCG, Ironclad ## Platforms WEB, API, JETBRAINS_PLUGIN ## Pricing Freemium — Free tier available with paid upgrades ## Links - Website: https://www.tavily.com - Documentation: https://docs.tavily.com/ - Repository: https://github.com/tavily-ai - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/tavily
