The Problem
Local LLM users who relied on Google CSE free tier or direct web scraping for search grounding lost access in 2026. CSE closed new signups, Cloudflare blocks 35%+ of direct requests, and Brave killed its free tier. Local assistants are now knowledge-frozen.
How Scavio Helps
- Structured API bypasses Cloudflare bot challenges entirely -- 99%+ success rate
- Free 250 credits/month covers casual local assistant usage
- REST API integrates with any local LLM framework via HTTP call
- Conversation stays local -- only the search query leaves your machine
- Drop-in replacement for broken CSE integration at same $0.005/query cost

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "latest python 3.14 release features 2026":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for Developers running local LLMs via Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp who need web search restored
