Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.
When to choose SearchCans
- AI agent developers who need live search results grounded in sources
- Teams building retrieval workflows over web pages, PDFs, and Office documents
- Developers who prefer prepaid credits over a monthly subscription
When to choose something else
- Users who need a hosted chatbot or search UI rather than an API
- Teams that need unlimited free search volume without paying for credits
A practical starting workflow
- Get an API key and send a search request to the SearchCans API with a query, engine type, and timeout
- Read the live SERP results returned for Google or Bing, including shopping, image, news, and video results
- Use the Reader API to extract clean Markdown or HTML from a URL, PDF, or Office document
- Track credit use per request type, since standard SERP requests use 1 credit and standard Reader extraction uses 2
- Top up with a prepaid credit pack when the balance runs low, noting packs are valid for six calendar months
Check before committing
