Metaphor API connects your LLM to the internet.
What is the Metaphor API?
The Metaphor API is a one stop shop to connect your LLM to the internet. Using our /search endpoint, an LLM can query using natural language and return a list of relevant results. The Metaphor search model is especially well-suited for LLMs because its fully neural architecture allows you to query completely in natural language, across our highly curated index. And if a query doesn't benefit from neural search, we also support keyword search.
Once there is a list of results, an LLM can decide which results are relevant and obtain cleaned HTML content. That content can then be fetched using the /contents endpoint, and your LLM could, for instance, summarize the results for the user. To see this exact flow in action, follow the Recent News Summarizer Example.
