OptimAI Search Docs
Build with decentralized live web search, clean URL scraping, and AI-agent retrieval workflows on the OptimAI network.
OptimAI Search turns decentralized retrieval into data your agents can inspect, trust, and ship. Use these docs for API calls, SDK setup, examples, and AI-readable references.
Start here
- Read Quick Start to make your first request.
- Use Search MCP when an AI agent should call OptimAI Search as a tool.
- Use the x402 SDK when your application needs paid HTTP-native search requests.
- Use BNB Agent when a buyer needs an escrowed ERC-8183 job on BSC mainnet.
- Review API Overview before wiring production traffic.
- Open Markdown Access if an agent needs clean text.
Product surfaces
OptimAI Search has two public web surfaces:
| Surface | Domain | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Search app | search.optimai.network | Human-facing live web search and scrape playground. |
| Docs | search-docs.pages.dev | Developer docs, crawler pages, and AI references. |
What is available now
API-key clients can use Search, Scrape, URL Seeding, and Crawl. Search supports Standard mode and an explicit Agent mode for longer web, social, and crypto research. MCP access is available for agent tooling. The x402 SDK currently supports paid Search requests only; Scrape, Seed, and Crawl require API-key authentication.
Keep the docs useful for both humans and machines: every page should have a clear title, a short description, structured headings, and links to the next action.
