Brave Search APIAPI38/100 via “custom domain filtering and result reranking via goggles”
Independent search API — web, news, images, summarizer, privacy-respecting, free tier.
Unique: Brave's Goggles feature allows application-level result filtering and reranking without modifying the search query itself, enabling dynamic source prioritization and content moderation rules that can be updated independently of application code. This is distinct from query-level filtering (site: operators) because it operates on the result set after ranking, allowing more sophisticated control.
vs others: More flexible than Google Custom Search's domain whitelisting because it supports reranking and prioritization, not just inclusion/exclusion, and can be modified per-request rather than being baked into a static search engine configuration.
