Search results loadedExample · Brave Search APIThe Brave Search API is the interface to the Brave Search engine, which uses its own index, independent of Google. With the Brave Search API integration, Armiflow connects it as a web search service: it supplies current search results from the internet, for example when information about a company is needed. The app shows exactly which features use the results.
Benefits
Search results are useful for many steps in sales: who is this company, what does it offer, where is it visible? Via the Brave interface, Armiflow can retrieve such results.
A second index is worthwhile because no search engine finds everything equally well. If you already use Google results via Serper or SerpApi, Brave Search adds an independent source to that view. This makes it easier to see whether a company is widely visible online or only appears in one place, and your research does not depend on a single provider.
With every search query, the search terms go to the provider. So pay attention to which data goes into search queries and check Brave’s terms under the GDPR (EUR-Lex). In Armiflow, your company data stays in a separate database schema, credentials are encrypted, and roles control who may set up connections.
