Setup

1. Create a Kagi account if you don't have one.
2. Navigate to Settings → API, or go directly to kagi.com/api.
3. Click Generate API Token. The token is shown only once — save it securely.
4. Add funds to your API balance.
5. Make your first API call (see example below).

Pricing

The Kagi Search API is priced at $12 per 1,000 queries ($0.012 per search).

You can add funds to your API balance from the API Billing panel.

Authentication

Pass your token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bot YOUR_API_TOKEN

First API Call

curl -H "Authorization: Bot $TOKEN" \
  "https://kagi.com/api/v1/search?q=kagi+search"

See the Search API page for the full endpoint reference, or browse the other APIs in the sidebar.
