What you can build

Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.

Independent Search Coverage

Collect Brave rankings alongside Google, Bing, and Startpage. Brave uses its own index, so the result set is a real alternative instead of a Google proxy.

Privacy-First Search Products

Use Brave results in research tools, citation discovery, and products that want an independent search engine without running a Brave scraper.

SERP Monitoring

Track organic rankings, related searches, and related questions from Brave Search for SEO, market research, and competitive analysis.

Search Engine Diversification

Add Brave as another search source in pipelines that already use Google Search or Startpage from the same Scrappa API key.

Available endpoints

Everything you need in one API.

Google Search API docs

Use direct Google results when you need the broader SERP feature set alongside Brave coverage.

Startpage Search API docs

Get anonymous Startpage web results when privacy-first Google-quality coverage matters.

Frequently asked questions

No. GET /api/brave/search scrapes search.brave.com HTML through an approved proxy layer. It does not call Google Search and it does not use the official Brave Search API.

The response includes ranked organic_results with position, title, link, snippet, and source, plus related_searches, related_questions, results_count, and a top-level source of brave.

The official Brave API is a paid JSON product from Brave. Scrappa scrapes the public Brave Search HTML with the same proxy-backed approach used for Bing and Startpage, then returns structured JSON.

Yes. Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. Test Brave Search alongside Google, Bing, and Startpage with the same key.
