Changelog

• Search now includes Yandex as a general web engine, especially for Russian-language and CIS coverage.
• Bing China (bingcn) is Bing's Mainland China ranking — a different result set from international Bing and from Baidu.
• Search1API now covers 18 engines on one contract. Sogou has been removed; requests that still send it fail validation.
• Docs: Improving search results · Yandex Search API · Bing China Search API

• GitHub search returns issues, pull requests, and discussions alongside repositories. Each result is labelled with kind, plus stars on repos and comment counts on threads.
• Search and news results carry published_date when the source exposes one, so a model can tell how fresh a page is.
• X search now honours time range and language. Reddit pages put on-topic posts first.
• Docs: GitHub Search API · Improving search results

• Hermes Agent gets live web access as first-class tools — install with hermes plugins install superagents-lab/hermes-search1api --enable.
• OpenClaw installs from ClawHub: openclaw plugins install clawhub:@fatwang2/openclaw-search1api.
• OpenCode: opencode plugin opencode-search1api.
• Get started: Hermes · OpenClaw · OpenCode

• LinkedIn, Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, Hugging Face, WeChat, npm, PyPI, Bilibili, and CSDN now have dedicated crawl paths that return clean Markdown instead of generic page chrome.
• Coverage is measured by URL pattern; login-walled or blocked URLs return a named error rather than a blank page.
• See the site parsers guide.

• Upgrade, downgrade, or switch between monthly and annual billing from your subscription card — no need to leave the dashboard.
• Upgrades and switches to annual take effect right away. Downgrades and switches to monthly apply at the end of your current billing period.
• Open the dashboard to manage your plan.

• Enter a code from an event, partner, or support in the dashboard to add credits to your account.
• Redeemed credits show up separately so you can see what's left and when they expire.
• Each code can be redeemed once per account. Start from the dashboard when you have a code.

• Top up any amount from $5 to $2,000. The base rate is $1 = 1,000 credits, and larger top-ups receive a bonus on the whole amount.
• Top-up credits never expire. Subscription allowances still reset each month and are spent first.
• Optional auto top-up charges the amount you set after your combined available balance falls below your threshold.
• Auto top-up is off by default, capped at three charges in 24 hours, and turns itself off after repeated payment failures.
• Read the launch note or start from the pricing page.

• dsh-s1 gives your DeepSeek Harness agent live web access — web search, news, page retrieval, sitemap discovery, and trending topics — as first-class dsh tools with no MCP bridge.
• Runs in-process against the official SDK, with a bundled s1 skill that teaches the model when to search, crawl, or go deeper.
• Install with dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-s1.
• Get started: DeepSeek Harness integration docs · GitHub

• Install from n8n's community nodes settings and connect with a Search1API key from the dashboard.
• Get started: n8n integration docs

• Search1API's hosted MCP server at https://mcp.search1api.com/mcp supports the Model Context Protocol revision 2026-07-28, published on July 28, 2026.
• The revision makes MCP stateless: protocol-level sessions and the initialize handshake are gone, and every request carries its protocol version and client capabilities in _meta.
• Added server/discover so a client can read the supported protocol versions, server capabilities, and server identity before sending anything else.
• Clients on the 2025 protocol revisions continue to work unchanged over both HTTP and stdio.

• Added OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration for AI agents and native clients, including access tokens, refresh tokens, and standard revocation metadata.
• Enabled OAuth discovery and Bearer-token authentication across the REST API and Hosted MCP while keeping existing API keys fully supported on the same account, credits, billing, rate limits, and usage reporting.
• Updated the first-party Search1API CLI so s1 login runs the complete OAuth public-client flow and refreshes expired access tokens automatically.
