Kagi Search API is now in public preview
Today we’re making the Kagi Search API preview publicly available, giving builders access to Kagi search across web, images, videos, news, and podcasts. The API is ready to use today, and we’re using this preview to transition existing beta API users, collect feedback, and finish the remaining launch details before the official announcement.
As a thank you to our subscribers, we’ve added $5 in API credits to your account. You can use them right away to try the API, explore what’s possible, and see how it fits into your workflow.
Explore the API, read the docs, and check pricing to get started!
The API is not just a generic search endpoint, queries can inherit the preferences attached to the Kagi account behind the API key, including lenses, upranks, downranks, and blocklists, so applications can search through the same trusted and filtered view of the web that users have already shaped in Kagi.
Please send us candid feedback: what’s confusing, missing, broken, or unexpectedly good! Try it out!

Incognito-only mode for Privacy Pass
Our Privacy Pass extension, which allows you to prove to our servers that you're a subscriber without revealing your identity, has gained a long-awaited toggle that makes it active only in incognito windows, so you can benefit from personalized results most of the time but have added anonymity for your more sensitive browsing. The extension was almost completely rewritten in the process, squashing several long-standing bugs. Try it out!
