Argus FAQs

Question 1

What is Argus and how does it simplify web search?

Accepted Answer

Argus is a unified API that intelligently routes web search queries across multiple providers. It simplifies integration by offering a single endpoint with automatic fallback, result ranking, and advanced content extraction capabilities, removing the need to manage individual provider APIs.

Question 2

What are multi-turn search sessions and how do they benefit AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Multi-turn search sessions enable Argus to remember prior queries within a session. This allows follow-up searches to be automatically enriched with context, providing more relevant results and making Argus an ideal tool for powering intelligent, conversational AI agents.

Question 3

How does Argus optimize search results and provider usage?

Accepted Answer

Argus routes queries in a cost-effective, cheap-first order, gracefully falling back to other providers on failures, weak output, cooldowns, or budget limits. It then ranks and deduplicates results from various sources into a single, clean, and comprehensive list.

Question 4

Can Argus extract clean content from web pages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Argus features robust content extraction. You can pass a URL to Argus and get clean, ad-free article text back. It prioritizes local extraction (trafilatura) and falls back to external services like Jina Reader if needed, with caching for efficiency.

Question 5

Does Argus help manage API costs for paid search providers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Argus includes token balance tracking and budget enforcement for paid providers. It keeps a local record of your remaining API credits, automatically decrementing them with use and allowing you to set budget limits to prevent unexpected overages.
