PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is Tavily?
Tavily is a web access layer for AI agents, offered as a single secure API for real-time web access. Its endpoints cover search for fast, relevant web results; extract for clean, structured content for LLMs; research for in-depth web research; crawl for content extracted from entire websites; and map for discovering URLs across a site. Retrieved data is returned structured and chunked so agents can reason over facts, and requests pass through security, privacy and content validation layers that block PII leakage, prompt injection and malicious sources. It is built for developers and enterprises integrating web grounding into agents and frameworks, with documented SOC 2, ZDR, GDPR and ISO 27001 security credentials. Access starts through the Tavily app and API documentation.
