Live fetching on the Fetch API , the Fetch endpoint now accepts a live parameter to retrieve a page in real time instead of serving the cached copy. Use it when freshness matters more than latency.

April 2026
Keenable API launch , the initial public release of the Keenable platform for AI agents: the Search API ( /v1/search ), the Fetch API ( /v1/fetch ), the CLI , and the MCP server , one API key across all of them.
May 2026
Unauthenticated access , the CLI and MCP server now answer requests without an API key, on a shared public tier, so you can evaluate them before creating an account. See Authentication . Authentication & rate-limit guides , new Authentication and Rate limits pages cover the device-code login flow, API keys, and the unauthenticated vs. authenticated tiers.
August 2026
Point-in-time search , query_time is now documented on both the MCP tool and the Search API : search the index as it stood at an instant, and have relative date filters resolve against that instant rather than now. Two more search parameters , max_results caps how many results come back (1–50), and snippet_max_length caps the snippet per result.
July 2026
Prompt-driven extraction , the Fetch endpoint accepts a prompt , and returns what an LLM read out of the page for that instruction instead of the whole page. Usage and overrides over MCP , every authenticated tool call now reports its cost under _meta["keenable/usage"] , and an integrator can pin the search mode with _meta["keenable/overrides"] .
September 2026
Keenable on Baseten , web search and page fetch run as server-side tools on Baseten Model APIs. Name the two tools in a chat request and the model searches and reads pages inside Baseten's inference loop; no MCP client and no Keenable key, because Baseten meters the calls onto your Baseten invoice.
October 2026
Pay per request with x402 , search and fetch can now be bought one call at a time, with no account and no API key. /v1/x402/search and /v1/x402/fetch answer 402 with an x402 offer; the client pays $0.01 in USDC on Base and retries, and gets the result with an on-chain receipt. Any standard x402 client works. See Pay per request .
November 2026
Search without cards. For some queries, such as prices, exchange rates or facts about a company, search returns a card: a result that Keenable writes itself, at https://cards.keenable.ai/w/ . Send disable_cards: true to get ordinary web pages in their place. disable_cards works in pro and realtime modes, on the Search API and the MCP server .
