Latest update (11-11 18:13): Amazon launches Web Search API on Bedrock AgentCore for direct search calls

Overview: Amazon launches the Web Search API on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, letting developers run web searches with a single InvokeWebSearch call signed with IAM credentials. The API returns ranked results from an Amazon-operated web index and supports domain and publication date filters, according to the AWS Machine Learning Blog.

The API is billed at $7 per 1,000 queries, the same Web Search rate as the AgentCore Gateway connector. Because no gateway is involved, there are no gateway charges, and interface endpoints are billed at standard AWS PrivateLink pricing. By default each account can send up to 10 requests per second in each Region, and accounts can request an increase.

The API is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney).
