Brave ranks the Web from an index it built itself and sells an official API on top of it. We say when that API is enough, and scrape the results page when you need what visitors see.
You send keywords, regions, languages and devices, plus any Goggle to apply. We run the Brave Search scraper from egress inside each region, render the page so AI answers and widgets load, and record every block with its position. Brave screens traffic at its own firewall, answers suspected bots with a proof-of-work captcha and turns some VPN and Tor exits away outright, so each capture is checked as a complete results page before it is stored. Anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the service.
Where the API covers the job, we wire the pipeline to your own Brave Search API key instead. Delivery is CSV, JSON, XLSX or an endpoint, pushed to S3, SFTP or your warehouse.
We extract Brave Search data from the rendered results page, one row per element, and stamp every row with the keyword, region, language, Safe Search level, device and any Goggle in force.
Positions are kept per block and for the page as a whole, so a third organic result can be read against the AI answer and the Discussions block above it. Brave Search Premium members, and Brave Rewards users with a connected wallet, see no search ads by default, so the ad count we record is the one an ordinary visitor gets.
The Brave Search API is official and self-serve. A Brave Search API key, with the matching plan, opens Web Search, LLM Context, News, Images, Videos, Place Search, Autosuggest, Spellcheck and Answers, an OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint; agents reach it through the official Brave Search MCP server. Web Search returns up to 20 results a call and ten pages deep, with country, language, freshness, Safe Search, extra snippets and up to three Goggles as parameters. The Brave Search image search API returns up to 200 images a call. The old summarizer no longer has its own page in the docs and survives as a key in web results; documented AI answers come from the Answers endpoint.
When you need Brave's ranked results as data - URLs, snippets, news, discussions, infobox, places - the API is the cheaper and cleaner route, and we will say so. Keep two limits in view. The self-serve terms allow only transient storage of Brave Search API results and bar reselling them or training AI on them, so a stored rank history needs a plan that explicitly grants storage rights, which is worth asking Brave about first. And the response carries no ads and no partner widgets; its mixed object suggests where each block belongs in the top, main and side zones of your own page, a layout hint rather than a copy of the page a visitor in a region saw. Singapore, a region on the results page, is absent from the API country list. What a visitor saw is where a results page capture earns its place.
Brave Search is the search engine Brave Software runs at search.brave.com, built into the Brave browser and offered behind a paid developer API. A Brave Search scraper and that API draw on one source: the Brave Search index, which Brave put at over 30 billion pages in late September 2026, kept fresh by more than 100 million page updates a day. Brave calls it a completely independent index tuned to cut SEO spam, and counts it among only three independent, global-scale indexes in the western world. By default every web result is served from it, not bought from Google or Bing.
Two feeds build it. The Brave Search crawler does not identify itself separately, so sites that admit only Google do not turn it away, and it skips any page Googlebot may not crawl, so a site that shuts out Googlebot is missing here too. The Web Discovery Project, an opt-in in the Brave browser, adds anonymous signals from volunteers: queries, result clicks, visited URLs and time on page. Brave says it does not filter, downrank or censor results beyond what the law requires, such as copyright takedowns, right to be forgotten requests and government orders.
A visitor sees tabs for Ask, All, Images, News, Videos, Maps and Goggles. For certain searches the All tab opens with an AI answer that cites its sources, and Brave Search Discussions pulls in Reddit and Stack Exchange threads when a query scores as discussion-worthy. Featured snippets, an infobox, local results and clearly marked private ads fill the rest, while Ask Brave turns a query into a chat with a Deep Research mode.

The Brave Search engine ranks its own index with its own models, so a position on Google or Bing predicts little here. Brave's help pages give site owners a noindex route and a re-fetch request, but nothing like a search console report, so positions have to be collected. Rank tracking on Brave also reaches past Brave's own visitors: the same index grounds the LLM Context and Answers endpoints that chatbots and agents call, so a Brave position is an early reading of what those agents will find.
One query can hold many rankings. Brave Search Goggles re-rank the index with open rule files hosted on GitHub or GitLab, using $boost, $downrank and $discard against sites and URL patterns. The discovery page lists popular Goggles such as Tech blogs, No Pinterest, Rust programming and the AllSides pair News from the Left and News from the Right, and each one reorders the page. Rerank does the same for a single visitor, with raise and discard rules kept in cookies.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
The use of sentiment analysis tools in business benefits not only companies but also their customers by allowing them to improve products and services, identify the strengths and weaknesses of competitors' products, and create targeted advertising.
Using web scraping to extract Google Maps data will help you quickly and efficiently find businesses in any industry, city, state, or region. And the extracted contact information, such as phone or email address, social networks, or links to web pages, will help to contact them.
Lead scraping is a reliable way to get the right customer contacts to market your product, saves organizations time, and helps you better understand the audience you want to attract. Contacts include emails, phone numbers, or social media profiles.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency: engineers who build, host and repair collectors and deliver the data, not a tool. A Brave Search project opens with three questions - which blocks you need, in which regions, and what you have to keep - because the answers decide between the API, a results page capture or a mix of the two.
The first delivery is a trial set of one keyword list in two regions, and the price is fixed before full collection starts.
Yes, an official one. Brave Software sells the Brave Search API on the same independent index that serves search.brave.com, with endpoints for web, news, images, videos, places, LLM Context and cited AI answers. It returns ranked results as JSON, not the page a visitor sees: no ads, no partner widgets, no record of the page as rendered. Its general terms allow only transient storage and bar reselling results or training AI on them; keeping results, model training included, needs a plan that explicitly grants storage rights. Settle what you need to keep before you choose.
The price list shows no separate free plan: each plan carries $5 of credit a month, and a card is required even so. In late September 2026 the Search plan costs $5 per 1,000 requests at up to 50 a second, so the credit covers about 1,000 calls. Answers currently costs $4 per 1,000 queries plus $5 per million input and output tokens at 2 a second; Spellcheck and Autosuggest are currently $5 per 10,000. Query logs are kept for up to 90 days, and Brave Search API zero data retention is an Enterprise option.
The results page offers 38 countries plus All regions, from the US, UK, Germany and France to Brazil, India, Japan and Singapore. Left alone, Brave sets the region from the visitor's IP, and with anonymous local results on, local queries resolve to a general location taken from that IP. The interface comes in 49 languages, and the loc: and lang: search operators filter further. The API takes 37 of those countries plus ALL, with no Singapore, and 52 search-language codes. We run each region from egress inside that country, so rankings match what people there see.
Yes. Daily suits most keyword lists, weekly suits stable reference queries, and a short list around a launch or breaking story can run hourly. A Goggle is named by the URL of its rule file and has to be registered with Brave before use; we store that URL on every row, so default and re-ranked positions sit side by side. Through the API each keyword, region and page is one billed call, and Brave serves cached results unless a call asks for fresh ones, which it honours on a best-effort basis. Files arrive as CSV, JSON or XLSX, or through an endpoint.
That depends on where you operate and what you do with the data, and we are not lawyers. Brave's robots.txt disallows /search, /images, /news, /videos and /goggles for every crawler. Its Terms of Use forbid bypassing any measure Brave uses to restrict access or loading its systems disproportionately, and its help center says its captchas exist to make scraping Brave Search expensive for bots. The API is the route Brave licenses. We state this up front, agree scope and volume with your counsel before a run, collect only what an ordinary visitor sees and leave personal data out. The decision and the use of the data stay with you.
