Cloudflare has launched a beta Web Search API through AI Gateway, available via REST and Workers, giving AI agents live web results from Ceramic.ai, Exa and Linkup with unified logging, access controls and billing.
Cloudflare says agents often guess URLs and hit 404 errors, and search requests are logged alongside inference calls.
