The basic workflow

Two requests, useful context.

Search returns ranked pages and clean snippets. Context turns a selected result into stored, machine-readable text.

Find sources

GET /api/search?q=...

Query Purili's crawler-built index using normal terms or advanced operators.

Retrieve content

GET /api/context?url=...

Get extracted text, passages, structured metadata, and an explicit coverage label.

Available now

A small API surface with useful parts.
