DeepSeek launches AI-native web search APIs to compete with SerpApi

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek has launched new Search and Fetch APIs, offering developers access to live web data for AI agents and RAG applications. These APIs aim to provide model-ready context by finding and summarizing relevant web pages. While DeepSeek's offering focuses on AI-native retrieval and summarization, SerpApi provides structured data from a wider array of search engines and vertical products like Google Flights and Google Maps. The choice between them depends on whether an application requires general web evidence or specific, structured data from particular search verticals. AI
