Web search on the Anthropic API
Today, we're introducing web search on the Anthropic API—a new tool that gives Claude access to current information from across the web.
When Claude receives a request that would benefit from up-to-date information or specialized knowledge, it uses its reasoning capabilities to determine whether the web search tool would help provide a more accurate response. Claude can also operate agentically and conduct multiple progressive searches, using earlier results to inform subsequent queries in order to do light research and generate a more comprehensive answer.
