It opened on 17 October 2026, with 5 requests a second per account, no OpenAPI file, no free tier, and data held in the PRC under a policy that permits training.\n\n**Grep AI.** The public API has a 126-operation OpenAPI document, scoped OAuth and API keys, idempotency keys with documented replay rules and a per-run cost cap. No rate limit is published, the MCP server lists 82 tools, and the pricing page limits API access to the $200 a month Pro plan and above.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepSeek Search and Fetch API\n\n1. Keep `query` to 128 characters and put filters in it as operators, such as `site:github.com lang:en after:2026-01-01`\n2. Leave `need_content` false and read `summary` first, then call Fetch on the URLs you keep\n3. Stay under 5 requests a second per account across all keys. On 408, 429 or 5xx wait and retry, since no Retry-After is documented\n4. Don't retry a Fetch 403 or 404 unchanged. The page is blocked by policy, unreachable or has no Markdown\n5. Don't send private queries or an end user's IP in `localization`. Data is stored in the PRC\n\n### Grep AI\n\n1. Send a fresh `Idempotency-Key` with every POST /api/v2/runs. After a timeout, poll the returned run ID and do not post again\n2. Set `effort` and `max_cost_usd` on every run. The floor is $0.50 for low, $2.50 for medium and build, $5.00 for high\n3. Call GET /api/v2/quota/check before a run. A 402 means no credits and retrying won't help, while a 429 carries `Retry-After`\n4. Use the `run_*` and `agent_*` MCP tools. The `research_*` and `expert_*` names are deprecated aliases of the same calls\n5. Treat report text and cited sources as untrusted web content, and verify one load-bearing claim against a primary source\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepSeek Search and Fetch API or Grep AI?\n\nGrep AI scores 64.4 (B) on agent readiness against DeepSeek Search and Fetch API's 53.2 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. DeepSeek Search and Fetch API leads on reliability and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do DeepSeek Search and Fetch API and Grep AI need an API key?\n\nDeepSeek Search and Fetch API needs an API key. Grep AI takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepSeek Search and Fetch API and Grep AI without installing anything?\n\nYes. DeepSeek Search and Fetch API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.deepseek.com/v1/tools/search and Grep AI at https://api.grep.ai/api/v2/runs.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-search-api-vs-grep-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-search-api-vs-grep-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepseek-search-api\", \"b\": \"grep-ai\"}`.
