Tavily is an API that connects AI agents to the web, providing real-time search, extraction, research, and web crawling through a single endpoint. It allows developers to ground AI models with fresh web context, retrieving live data and returning it structured and chunked for model consumption, reducing hallucination. The platform handles thousands of web queries per second with production-grade retrieval, intelligent caching, and indexing. Built-in security safeguards block PII leakage, prompt injection, and malicious sources. Tavily is trusted by over 1 million developers and enterprise customers, including companies like Writer, MongoDB, and IBM. It offers drop-in integration with leading LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Groq, and has been benchmarked on factual question answering (SimpleQA) and other metrics.
