Search title and cleaned content with familiar web-search syntax. Quoted phrases, uppercase OR, and -excluded terms are supported.

Built for production reads

Search behavior you can reason about.

Useful query syntax

Search the way developers already expect: quoted phrases, uppercase OR, minus exclusions, exact source lists, and inclusive RFC 3339 time windows.

Stable synchronization

Opaque cursors preserve database timestamp precision and are fingerprinted to the query, filters, and sort. A cursor from another search is rejected.

Explicit content states

Each item includes description, image, bylines, language and category, plus explicit snippet, publication, collection and revision states.

Access

Call it, understand it, ask for what is missing.

API
