AI-native deep research and search API for finding, extracting, and analyzing information across the web. Use when a workflow needs verified factual answers, structured data extraction from URLs, or automated research tasks that go beyond simple search. Tasks and findall are async with polling. 4 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Parallel API docs for full documentation.
Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.
