Introducing Web Search API via AI Gateway
Cloudflare AI Gateway now provides native integration with web search providers Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup. Developers can inject real-time web search results into LLM inference calls using REST APIs or Cloudflare Workers bindings.

Impact & Verification Analysis
Developers building RAG-based applications, AI agent architects, and Cloudflare Workers users.
It standardizes the retrieval process for LLMs, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for building real-time, context-aware AI applications while reducing the complexity of managing multiple third-party search provider integrations.
Full Fact Overview
This integration bridges the gap between static model training data and real-time information by enabling Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows directly within the AI Gateway infrastructure. By abstracting the search provider layer, Cloudflare allows developers to switch between or aggregate data from Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup without managing individual provider SDKs or authentication flows. This architectural shift moves the search-retrieval logic from the application layer to the gateway layer, reducing latency and simplifying the implementation of context-aware AI agents.
