Claude Now Searches Web 🌐

Anthropic just rolled out Web Search for its API, which means Claude can now reach out to the web in real-time and pull in the latest data when generating responses.

This is a big step that pushes AI agents closer to being real-time research assistants. Instead of relying solely on static knowledge, Claude can now pull in fresh insights from the web to help with anything from stock analysis to legal updates—even debugging code with the latest docs.

If you're building AI workflows or tools, this unlocks real up-to-date power. Want your agent to watch market trends or quote the latest developer docs? It's now doable—with citations and full control over what Claude can or can’t search.

One quick takeaway: web search is off by default, but you can enable it directly in your API requests and customize what sources Claude can pull from.
