Brave Search API
$5 in free search API credits every month.
AI Search
What you get
$5 in free credits every month, applied automatically, for web search and LLM-context endpoints.
How to get it
Get an API key at brave.com/search/api.
What it requires
A credit card (Brave says it asks for one to prevent abuse).
The catch
It's prepaid credit rather than a free plan: past the $5 monthly credit you buy more credits; there's no subscription.
