The Problem
Nebius acquired Tavily for $275M in February 2026. Existing customers continue per the announcement, but procurement teams are evaluating vendor independence on new builds.
How Scavio Helps
- Vendor-independent default reduces strategic dependency
- Scavio at $30/mo is the like-for-like for Tavily Researcher tier
- First-party LangChain integration preserves the migration shape
- Multi-platform under one key vs Tavily's web-only scope
- MCP-native if you're moving to agent tool use

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Migration: replace TavilySearch tool with langchain-scavio's ScavioSearchTool, swap API key, keep prompts; for /extract pattern use Scavio's /api/v1/extract; total switch typically <30 min for a small project":
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 Procurement teams, engineering leads, founders setting up new agent stacks in mid-2026
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your post-tavily-acquisition search stack solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
