NestDaddy

Cheapest Web Search API in 2026

NestDaddy Search API from $9.99/month. 90% cheaper than Google Custom Search. Simple REST, no setup fees. 7-day free trial.

Web Search APIs Cost Too Much — This One Doesn't

Building search into your app sounds simple until you look at the pricing. Google Custom Search: $5 per 1,000 queries after the free 100/day. Bing Search API: $7 per 1,000 at the cheapest tier. SerpAPI: $75/month for 5,000 searches. At real usage volumes, these costs compound fast.

NestDaddy Search API is $9.99/month for 10,000 web search requests. Same result structure you'd expect: title, URL, snippet, source, timestamp. Filter by language, country, or date. Paginate through results. That's it — no per-query surprises, no burst pricing, no usage tiers that activate at 3 AM.

It's built for developers who need to ship search features without the API bill eating the entire project budget.

Integrate in Under 5 Minutes

Standard REST — works with any HTTP client in any language.

Python
import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
headers = {"X-API-Key": API_KEY}

def web_search(query, lang="en", page=1):
    r = requests.get(
        "https://nestdaddy.com/api/search",
        params={"q": query, "lang": lang, "page": page, "sort": "relevance"},
        headers=headers
    )
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()["results"]

results = web_search("best python frameworks 2026")
for item in results:
    print(f"{item['title']}\n{item['url']}\n")
JavaScript (fetch)
async function search(query, lang = "en") {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({ q: query, lang, sort: "relevance" });
  const res = await fetch(`https://nestdaddy.com/api/search?${params}`, {
    headers: { "X-API-Key": "your_api_key" }
  });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Search failed: ${res.status}`);
  const { results } = await res.json();
  return results; // [{ title, url, snippet, source, date }]
}

const hits = await search("javascript frameworks 2026");
hits.forEach(h => console.log(h.title, h.url));

Is NestDaddy Search API Right for You?

✓ Good fit if you're:
  • Building a side project or MVP with a real budget
  • Adding web search to an app, chatbot, or internal tool
  • Running a startup and need predictable monthly costs
  • Migrating from SerpAPI, Bing, or Google CSE to cut costs
  • Need news + search + image search without managing 3 subscriptions
✗ Might not be for you if:
  • You need Google-specific SERP features (ads, shopping boxes, knowledge panels)
  • You require 100k+ searches/month (contact us for volume pricing)
  • You need strict SLA guarantees with uptime credits
