About SearchApi

We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies and fast‑moving startups who need reliable search data at scale.

We're a lean, profitable, bootstrapped team. No VC pressure, no bloat. Just engineers shipping real products to real customers.

Why Join Us?

• Real Impact: Small team, massive scale. Your code runs in production serving billions of requests, powering tools you've probably used.
• 100+ APIs: Google, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and growing.
• Open Source First: LangChain, HayStack, Flowise, LangFlow, Dify integrations.
