Inicio / AskRobots API
The AskRobots API
Search the web from your own code and AI agents: plain JSON results from AskRobots' own independent index, the same results people see on askrobots.com.
Searching is the main use. The same key also reads pages, looks up sites and URLs, lists the directory, answers questions, gives page thumbnails, and works with our MCP server.

- site: searches and directory pages need a key when a program asks for them, so the index stays fast for everyone.
- Can my AI agent use it?
- Yes: the MCP server at
https://search.askrobots.com/api/v1/mcptakes the same key. - How do I cancel?
