SpecStream for platforms

You move by changing one address

SpecStream speaks the API your product already calls. The path, the parameters and the JSON that comes back stay as they are, so the code that reads the reply does not change. This is a product on Tavily, before and after.

# Before
curl -X POST https://api.tavily.com/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Who founded Mistral AI and when?", "max_results": 5}'

# After
curl -X POST https://api.specstream.ai/tavily/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPECSTREAM_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Who founded Mistral AI and when?", "max_results": 5}'

Seven routes are live today, each billed as one search on your key: Google Custom Search JSON API at https://api.specstream.ai/customsearch/v1, Tavily at https://api.specstream.ai/tavily, Exa at https://api.specstream.ai/exa, Brave at https://api.specstream.ai/res/v1/web/search, Serper at https://api.specstream.ai/serper, Bing v7 at https://api.specstream.ai/v7.0/search and SearXNG at https://api.specstream.ai/searxng.

Google ends its Custom Search JSON API on January 1, 2027. A product that runs on it changes one line and pays the same $5 per 1,000, with no limit of 10,000 a day.

Your users get the most accurate web search API in the world

On SimpleQA Verified the SpecStream Search API scores 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official questions, 978 of them correct. On WideSearch it scores 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official tasks. The Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. Every score, with its method and each provider's published score beside it, is on the benchmarks page.

Every answer is read from the live web

Each search is read from the web at the second of the call. There is no stored copy to go stale, so a page published an hour ago is in the answer your user gets.

You decide what is kept, on each key

Create a key with zero_retention and a search made with it keeps no request text and no answer after the reply. It is not in the history, its answer is not reused for another call, and its log lines carry neither. The charge keeps the account, the key, the request ID, the price and the time.

curl -X POST https://api.specstream.ai/v1/account/keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPECSTREAM_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"zero_retention": true}'

SpecStream SAS is a French company under EU law, and the service runs on IBM Cloud in Madrid, Spain.

The paper is done the day you ask

Our data processing agreement is published. A platform that resells search gets a signed supplier data addendum the same day, and when you send your own paper with the same questions we sign it that day too. Write to [email protected].

$5 per 1,000 searches, and 20% more credit when you prepay

A search of up to 10 results costs $0.005, and each started block of 10 more results adds $0.006, up to 100 results a search. A call stopped by a 503 charges nothing, and an Idempotency-Key makes a retried call charge once.

Prepay $1,000 or more and you get 20% more credit: $1,000 buys $1,200 of use, which is $4.17 per 1,000 searches. Write to [email protected] and the payment link comes back the same day. Credit you buy never expires.

Search, page reading and finished rows from one supplier

The same key reads up to 20 pages or documents a call with the Extract API at $0.80 per 1,000 pages, and a page with no text is not charged. Deep Search returns every match for a request in plain words as structured rows, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, with a source URL on every value. Your product gets search, pages and data from one contract and one bill.

A product that bills or meters web search

You sell searches to your users and name your provider in your docs. At $5 per 1,000, or $4.17 with a prepayment, your margin on each search is known before you ship, and your users get the top score on the official sets.

A model host with no search tool

OpenAI and Anthropic charge $10 per 1,000 searches for their own search tools. Give every model you host the same web search at $5 per 1,000, through the API or the MCP server at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp.

A private or European assistant

Your promise to your users is that their questions stay theirs. A zero retention key keeps no request text and no answer, the supplier is a French company, and the servers are in Madrid.

Any product on Google's Custom Search JSON API

Google ends the API on January 1, 2027. SpecStream answers the same call at https://api.specstream.ai/customsearch/v1 in Google's JSON, at the same $5 per 1,000 and with no daily limit.
