LuisSearch¶

A free, open search API powered by BM25 ranking. No API key required for public use.

LuisSearch indexes the open web and exposes it through a simple, CORS-enabled JSON API. Search the web, images, and videos; inspect the live crawler; or build your own front-end on top of it.

API Reference Base URL, authentication, and how requests work.
Endpoints Every route — search, images, videos, stats, and crawler status.
Drive API Token-based auth flow for LuisSearch Drive.
Errors & Limits Status codes, error shapes, and rate limits.

Quick start¶

No sign-up needed — just call the search endpoint:

curl "https://luisearch.pages.dev/api/search?q=linux"

{
  "query": "linux",
  "results": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.kernel.org/",
      "title": "The Linux Kernel Archives",
      "snippet": "The Linux kernel is the core of a large..."
    }
  ]
}

CORS is enabled

You can call the API directly from a browser, a server, or a static site — no proxy required.

What powers it¶

BM25 ranking over a locally-crawled index.
AI features across the platform (such as answers and app generation) are powered by DeepSeek.
A continuously-running crawler that expands the index from thousands of sitemaps.
