Real-time web + news search with AI-summarized results and citations. Flat $0.081 per call on Base ($0.08 + $0.001 network fee; $0.08 on Solana), at any max_results — verified against live 402 quotes 2026-10-06. Best for fresh queries; for semantic / neural research use blockrun_exa instead.
blockrun_search({ body: {
query: "what's the consensus on the Fed's next move",
sources: ["web", "news"],
max_results: 10
}})
| Field | Required | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
query | yes | string | Natural-language search query |
sources | no | string[] | Subset of ["web","news"]. Default: ["web"] — pass both for news coverage. There is no X/Twitter source (removed upstream 2026-07-05; asking for "x" is refused before payment). Does NOT multiply price. |
max_results | no | number | 1–50, default 10. Does not change the price — ask for as many sources as the question needs. |
from_date | no | string | YYYY-MM-DD lower bound on result date |
to_date | no | string | YYYY-MM-DD upper bound |
| User intent | sources setting |
|---|---|
| Breaking news / today's headlines | ["news"] |
| Social / X sentiment | not served — there is no X source; use ["news","web"] and say so, or blockrun_exa for a targeted crawl |
| Backgrounder / explainer / docs | ["web"] |
| General "find current info" question | ["web","news"] (omitting it searches the web only) |
blockrun_search({ body: { query: "Ethereum ETF approval SEC", sources: ["news","web"], max_results: 8 } })
