Parallel
Web search, extraction, monitoring and deep-research APIs built for AI agents, running on Parallel's own web index and returning cited outputs.
About Parallel
Agents that rely on general search APIs or model training data get stale facts and spend many tokens reading raw pages.
Who it’s for
- Developers giving AI agents and assistants live web access
- Teams automating account research, data enrichment or web monitoring
When to consider it
Consider Parallel when your agent needs search, page extraction, change monitoring or multi-step web research through one API, with citations and confidence scores attached to answers and prices fixed per request rather than per token.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Pay as you go, priced per request: Search $0.001-$0.005 per call (10 results), Extract $0.001, Task API (deep research) $0.005-$2.40 depending on the processor tier.
- Free usage covers up to 5,000 requests a month ($5 in free credits per month); zero data retention, SSO and custom rate limits are Enterprise features.
