Scavio for Replace Brave/DuckDuckGo Search in AI Agents

The Problem

AI agents using Brave Search API (free tier: 1 req/sec, limited depth) or DuckDuckGo's unofficial API (no SLA, sparse results, breaks without notice) get inconsistent search grounding. Long-tail queries return zero results 20-30% of the time. Rate limits throttle agents mid-conversation during demos and production use.

How Scavio Helps

• Google-depth results replace Brave/DDG sparse coverage
• 250 free searches/month cover development and testing
• AI Overview and Knowledge Graph included in results
• No rate limit throttling at production volume
• Same REST pattern as Brave/DDG for easy migration

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "A LangChain agent uses Brave Search for web grounding. During a product demo, the agent hits Brave's 1 req/sec rate limit and returns empty results for 3 queries. The team swaps Brave for Scavio: same tool-call pattern, POST with query and API key. Google-depth results with AI Overviews. Zero rate limit issues. Migration: 15 minutes to swap the URL and parse the response schema.":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")
