What is Snippex?

Snippex is a search API that returns relevant text snippets from each result — not just URLs and titles. When you run a web search, you get back a list of links. To actually use that information in an application, you have to fetch and parse each page, extract the relevant parts, and rank them — all of which takes time, infrastructure, and significant engineering effort. Snippex does all of that in a single API call.
You send a query. You get back ranked results, each containing verbatim passages from the source page that are relevant to your query, along with a relevance score.

What you can build

  • AI pipelines — feed grounded, relevant content directly into your prompts instead of raw web pages
  • Research tools — surface specific information from across the web without building a crawler
  • Knowledge bases — ingest fresh, sourced content at query time
  • Answer engines — build products that cite and quote their sources
