Web Search
Allow models to access real-time information from the internet.
Overview
Some models can search the web to fetch up-to-date information when answering queries — useful for current events, recent data, or anything outside the model's training cutoff.
Usage
Enable web search by adding the web_search parameter to your request:
TypeScript
| 1 | const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({ |
| 2 | model: 'gpt-4o', |
| 3 | messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What happened in tech news today?' }], |
| 4 | web_search: true, |
| 5 | }); |
Web search availability varies by model and provider. Check supported parameters on the model's detail page.
