Research API for AI agents

Built for programmatic access

AI agents need more than a single model completion. They need multi-source investigation, structured findings, and verifiable citations. ResearchAO exposes a simple HTTP API that agents can call to submit research questions, poll for status, and retrieve structured reports.

Agent-specific API keys

Create dedicated API keys for each agent with scoped permissions. Control which operations each agent can perform, set credit limits, and monitor usage separately.

Webhooks for async delivery

Configure webhooks to receive research results when they complete. No polling required — your agent gets notified automatically.

How it works

1. Sign up and create an API key
2. Agent calls POST /v1/research with a question
3. ResearchAO runs deep multi-source research
4. Webhook delivers the report, or agent polls for status
5. Agent processes the structured response

Credits and billing

Agent API calls consume credits from your ResearchAO account. Choose a plan based on your expected usage, and top up as needed. Each research run costs credits based on the effort level.
