Answers

This is Brave's AI-grounded search answer endpoint wrapped as an OpenAI-compatible chat completion. You get two modes: single-search for fast answers with optional inline citations, or research mode that does iterative multi-search with progress events and synthesized responses. The research mode is genuinely thorough but requires streaming and can take up to 300 seconds. Use single-search when you need quick factual answers with sources, research mode when you're doing deep comparative analysis or need to cover multiple angles. The citations come as XML tags in the stream, and it works with the OpenAI SDK if you point base_url at Brave's endpoint. Requires a Brave Search API key and the Answers plan subscription.
