The Brave Search API’s integration into Snowflake enables agentic web search for enterprise customers
The Brave Search API, which allows companies to power their search and AI apps by integrating billions of results from the Web with a simple API call, is now integrated into Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company. Specifically, the integration of the Brave Search API into Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex Code, and Cortex Agents bridges the gap between internal enterprise data and public world context by enabling agents to answer questions about current events, research market trends, and retrieve and source documentation with higher accuracy and reduced hallucinations.
The new integration is currently in public preview and was announced today at BUILD London, Snowflake’s developer conference for AI and apps, where Snowflake unveiled Cortex Code, a data-native AI coding agent that automates and accelerates end-to-end enterprise development by understanding enterprise data context. The integration with the Brave Search API brings real-time web knowledge into Snowflake, enabling more powerful, context-aware AI development for users.
“We’re pleased to have the Brave Search API, the only commercially-available search API at the scale of the global Web, integrated into Snowflake’s leading coding agents and enterprise AI tools,” said Jan Piotrowski, Vice President, Business for Brave Search at Brave Software. “This integration will give Snowflake’s customers the comprehensive agentic web search solution they require for enterprise performance.”
The Brave Search API delivers essential capabilities including world-class search engine features based on Brave Search’s independent index of the Web, packaged with ranking models. It also offers specialized endpoints to adapt results, such as local results, images, and AI summaries, as well as up to five snippets from over 35 billion pages, picked in real time to maximize contextual relevance to a search.
These features enable customers to access a rare data source: the search index of one of just three independent search engines at scale, and to benefit from its real-time nature grounded by over 100 million daily page updates. Brave offers customers a comprehensive solution, unlike competing options that provide smaller indexes, merely scrape the Web, suffer from high latencies, or are even at risk of being shut down due to their dependencies on third parties.
The Brave Search API also helps organizations supply their AI LLMs with real-time data, power agentic search, train foundation models, and create search-enabled software, and is for building applications that benefit from having access to the Web, going beyond the static knowledge of AI models. This enables customers to deploy their products with Web data that is fresh, reliable, and relevant, and offer the speed and reliability necessary for applications with millions of users around the world.
The Brave Search API already supplies most of the top 10 AI LLMs with real-time Web search data, and for some of them, Brave is in fact the only search engine index supporting their AI answers.
The Brave Search API is also the only search API built with privacy at its core. Regardless of plan or subscription, Brave Search API data is used and maintained only for the narrow purposes documented in our Data Processing Addendum.
In addition, the Brave Search API has undergone a thorough external audit, and earned our first SOC 2 Type II attestation. SOC 2 gives Brave Search API customers the confidence that one of the primary data sources they rely on to conduct their business has been independently verified as operating according to an industry-standard benchmark for security.
