FAQ

About the ChatGPT Search API

The AnyAPI ChatGPT Search API returns ChatGPT search data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/chatgpt.search. Ask ChatGPT a web-grounded question and receive an answer with source citations. ChatGPT composes each answer per request, so the same prompt returns different wording and a different source set. AnyAPI routes each request across 3 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.80 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 97.9% of ChatGPT search calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 37.2 seconds across 519 measured calls.

It costs from $1.80 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet, each call draws it down, and a failed request costs $0.

Ask ChatGPT a web-grounded question and receive an answer with source citations. ChatGPT composes each answer per request, so the same prompt returns different wording and a different source set. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 97.9% of ChatGPT search calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 37.2 seconds across 519 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
