Augment

/api/v1/augment/search

Search the web and return results directly. Returns structured search results including titles, URLs, content snippets, and dates.

Search providers:

  • brave (default) — Brave Search with Zero Data Retention (ZDR). Search queries are never stored or logged by the search provider.
  • google — Google Search with anonymized queries. Searches are proxied through Venice's infrastructure so that your identity is not associated with the search request sent to Google. Venice does not store or log search queries.

Authentication: This endpoint accepts either a Bearer API key or a SIGN-IN-WITH-X header for x402 wallet-based authentication. The legacy X-Sign-In-With-X header is also accepted during migration. When using x402, a 402 Payment Required response indicates insufficient balance and includes top-up instructions.
