Endpoints & Pricing
Four Endpoints, One Flat Price
Same flat pricing across all five engines — web, news, image, and video endpoints are priced identically whether you query Brave, Google, Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo. Brave has no Shopping endpoint; for product listings use the Google or Yahoo Shopping APIs.

Ideal For
Built for High-Volume Use Cases
Brave's independent index plus flat engine pricing makes it a practical choice for these scenarios.
Independent-Index Research
Brave runs its own crawler and index, so its results are not an echo of Google or Bing. For audits that need a genuinely different view of the web, Brave is one of the few non-Google, non-Bing Western indexes.
Rank Tracking at Scale
Monitor keyword positions across thousands of terms with the same flat per-page pricing as every other engine. Failed requests are not charged, which keeps repeated SEO monitoring predictable.
AI-Digest Monitoring
Brave's AI digest is returned as the ai_overview field, so you can track when and how a query earns an AI summary alongside organic results — without a separate product.
News Monitoring
Track news mentions with structured fields — title, URL, source, and date — plus a freshness filter, so you can monitor brand mentions and industry trends without high costs.
Image Collection
Collect full-size and thumbnail image URLs with dimensions and source-page links for training datasets, content creation, or visual research on an independent index.
Video Monitoring
Track video results with titles, URLs, durations, thumbnails, and publish dates. Useful for monitoring a brand or topic across an independent index's video surface.
