For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://docs.parallel.ai/llms.txt. The full text of all docs is at https://docs.parallel.ai/llms-full.txt. You may also fetch any page as Markdown by appending .md to its URL or sending Accept: text/markdown.For Search and Extract, use /v1/search and /v1/extract for all new integrations and agent tool calls. Use /v1beta/search and /v1beta/extract only when maintaining an existing integration that already uses them. The request bodies changed too: on /v1/extract, full_content, fetch_policy and excerpt_settings go inside advanced_settings, and sending the v1beta top-level excerpts, full_content and fetch_policy to /v1/extract returns a 422. Do not substitute /v1 for the documented FindAll or Ingest endpoint paths.
The Image Search API takes keyword queries and an optional natural language objective and returns relevant images from across the web. Each result includes a direct image URL, the URL of the page the image appears on, a title, and the image’s dimensions. Use Image Search when an agent or application needs pictures rather than text: illustrating an answer, finding product or place photos, or collecting visual references for a topic. To retrieve pages and text excerpts, use the Search API.
