AWS launches standalone Web Search API on Bedrock AgentCore
Start here
AWS has released a standalone Web Search API on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, letting developers call InvokeWebSearch directly from AWS SDKs or the AWS CLI with a single request and no resources to create. It returns ranked results from an Amazon-operated web index, each with a text extract and, when available, title, URL and publication time, plus domain and date filters. Requests are signed with SigV4 and IAM, using the same permission as the AgentCore Gateway route. By default each account can send up to 10 requests per second per Region, and an increase can be requested. Usage is metered to the same usage type as the gateway connector and billed at the Web Search rate of $7 per 1,000 queries; because no gateway is involved, there are no gateway charges. The API is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). An AWS walkthrough shows the API used inside a LangGraph graph that checks npm, PyPI and container base images in parallel, with date windows, blocklists and search budgets enforced in code; in that test the three branches finished in 36 seconds versus 99 seconds run sequentially.

The Web Search API in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now available, giving agents current web results through a single SigV4-signed API call served from a web index Amazon operates. A walkthrough builds a daily dependency watch as a LangGraph graph that researches npm, PyPI, and container base images in parallel, with date windows, blocklists, and search budgets enforced in code. In testing, the three branches finished in 36 seconds versus 99 seconds run sequentially.
