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**Kagi Search API.** A public OpenAPI file, typed filters and API keys that can be limited by product and IP address make the API simple to call, at $12 per 1,000 searches. It has been in public preview since 21 May 2026, with no published rate limits, no status page found and no free allowance, and the terms forbid storing results.\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### Kagi Search API\n\n1. Send `POST https://kagi.com/api/v1/search` with a JSON body and `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`, as the OpenAPI file defines. Only `query` is required\n2. Set `limit` to cap results returned. In the mixed `search` workflow the MCP tool applies the cap to each result category separately\n3. Use `extract.count` (1 to 10) only when page text is needed. Extraction is billed at the Extract rate on top of the search\n4. Do not store results. The API terms allow only the transient caching an application needs, and require deletion on termination\n5. On 429 back off before retrying. The response covers both rate limiting and an exhausted usage limit, and no `Retry-After` header is documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepSeek Search and Fetch API or Kagi Search API?\n\nDeepSeek Search and Fetch API scores 53.2 (D) on agent readiness against Kagi Search API's 48.7 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Kagi Search API leads on schema \u0026 documentation, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Which is cheaper for web search, DeepSeek Search and Fetch API or Kagi Search API?\n\nDeepSeek Search and Fetch API, at $0.75 per 1,000 requests against $12 per 1,000 requests for Kagi Search API. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Do DeepSeek Search and Fetch API and Kagi Search API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepSeek Search and Fetch API and Kagi Search API without installing anything?\n\nYes. DeepSeek Search and Fetch API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.deepseek.com/v1/tools/search and Kagi Search API at https://kagi.com/api/v1/search.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-search-api-vs-kagi-search.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-search-api-vs-kagi-search.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepseek-search-api\", \"b\": \"kagi-search\"}`.
