Is there any way to test this without an API key?

I am curious if my large website is in their search results. My company charges $1 per page crawled of our website, and the only traffic that worms through our firewall is using hacked residential ISPs. I really need to know who to send the (large!) bill to.

Your comment reminds me of this classic post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/uiBsQd8r7f

In short, you can try to charge people (or bots) per page but it's not like you'll ever see that money, as it breaks a fundamental paradigm of the internet.

That is a really good idea, in fact I’m doing something similar. I am charging anyone reading this comment 100 bucks per letter read, please tell me who I should send the bill to.

How does that work? I'm not a laywer, but I can invoice you $1 and the T.o.S of reading what I have to say are licensed under a $1 per view licence and by continued reading you consent to the terms of this license. Where can I send the bill for this comment?

I understand if you pay is a different story.

I mean ... "how does this work?"

I'm having trouble finding what this actually is

They're entering the search engine scene since they already have "all of the internet" stored due to the expansive LLM crawling -> training?

It is a service for AI agents, so that they can search the web and fetch pages. It is not a product for humans.

I use to manage Google search appliances. This feels a lot like Google old search API product. Nice to see some new players here.

Is AI search where the mysterious relentless crawler traffic is coming from lately?

Not sure, is it worse than two years ago?

I wonder if this is censored. If not then users in China mainland can use the api to workaround gfw (though there are much better ways)

Think there will be two tiers as usual, one for domestic/mainland and one for international users.

Which ones of the search providers listed in this thread use ethical indexing and not outright DDoS?
