Cloudflare Blog · rss · 2026-10-02
Cloudflare launched a Web Search API through AI Gateway, with launch partners Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup, fixing the common agent pattern of guessing URLs and curling 404s.
Key points
- Agents can search first and inject fresh, structured web snippets into model context
- Partner crawlers must meet Cloudflare's Verified Bots standards, respect robots.txt, and cite sources
- Billed via AI Gateway credits with observability logs, plus direct REST API, one-line Workers Bindings, and BYOK support
- Zero Data Retention (ZDR) partners will be identified
- Server Tools are coming to AI Gateway, with web search among the first built-in tools
