Pay only for what you use with transparent pricing across our Search and Content APIs. No hidden fees, no surprises - just predictable costs based on actual usage.

​
Search API Pricing

Pay per retrieval with transparent CPM (Cost Per Mille) pricing for search results.

​
Cost Control

Set your maximum price for a thousand retrievals (CPM) to maintain full control over your spending: 
from valyu import Valyu

valyu = Valyu(api_key="your-api-key-here")

response = valyu.search(
    "Implementation details of agentic search-enhanced large reasoning models",
    max_num_results=5,            # Limit to top 5 results
    max_price=30                  # Maximum price for a thousand retrievals (CPM)
)
You’ll receive a response where the total CPM cost of all returned data points is equal to or lower than the max_price you set. If your max price is too low, you will receive a partial success response with a warning: 
{
    "response_code": 206, # Partial success
    "success": true,
    "error": "3 data points were removed for too low max_price",
    ...
}
