Query Brave Search and get web search results from an independent search engine that doesn't track users. While Brave offers their own API, Scrappa provides a consistent interface that works with the same API key as all your other data sources.
Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Get search results from Brave's independent index as an alternative to Google. Compare rankings across search engines and diversify your search data sources.
Build search features that respect user privacy. Brave Search doesn't track users, making it ideal for privacy-focused apps, browsers, and tools.
Compare Brave Search results with Google and other engines. Analyze ranking differences, discover content that ranks differently across search engines.
Combine Brave Search with other search APIs available on Scrappa. Build meta-search tools that aggregate results from multiple engines through one API key.
Everything you need in one API.
One API call. Structured JSON response.

Brave offers their own Search API with Brave-specific pricing and API keys. Scrappa provides the same Brave Search results through a consistent interface — using the same API key, format, and documentation as all 80+ other Scrappa endpoints. This is ideal if you already use Scrappa for other data sources.
Yes. With Scrappa, you can query both Brave Search and Google Search with the same API key and consistent response format. This makes it easy to compare results, build multi-engine search tools, or diversify your search data sources.
Just a Scrappa API key. No separate Brave Search API subscription, no Brave-specific key. The same API key that works with Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, and all other Scrappa endpoints also works for Brave Search.
Each result includes the page title, URL, description snippet, and source domain. Results come from Brave's independent search index, which doesn't rely on Google or Bing for its core results.
Yes. Every Scrappa account gets 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. These credits work across all endpoints, so you can test Brave Search alongside Google, YouTube, and other APIs.
Scrappa charges $0.20 per 1,000 requests with no daily caps. This is the same price as all other Scrappa endpoints. The free tier includes 500 credits per month.
