Brave Search API offers Zero Data Retention (ZDR) for enterprise customers, ensuring no user queries are stored. Unlike scraper-based APIs that funnel queries through Google or Bing, or Big Tech APIs with extensive data collection, Brave operates an independent index of 35+ billion webpages. This architecture enables true ZDR enforcement throughout the entire search stack, simplifying compliance obligations and reducing liability for AI companies and developers building search applications. The API powers several top LLMs and is available with free and paid subscription tiers.
