TinyFish on Monid
Free search and fetch endpoints plus persistent logins for AI agents.
TinyFish on Monid provides AI agents with free live web search and webpage fetching, positioning itself as a $0 alternative to paid search APIs like Tavily or Exa. It also allows agents to bypass login walls by having the user sign in once via a managed browser session that stays persistent for future runs. Search and fetch require no credit card or subscription, while signed-in browser steps run on a pay-as-you-go balance.
What it's for
- Equip AI agents with live web search and markdown page fetching without per-query API fees
- Let an agent access authenticated services like LinkedIn, Amazon, or Workday without exposing login credentials directly to the model
- Monitor web pages for updates without incurring check fees when content is unchanged
Features
- Free live web search scoped to recency windows down to the last hour
- Markdown page fetching rendered inside a real browser
- Persistent browser authentication where users log in once and the agent stays authenticated
- Zero-cost change monitoring for static or unmodified pages
- Integration via standard agent skill files (SKILL.md) compatible with tool-calling frameworks
Pricing
Freemium. Search and fetch are 100% free with no credit card; signed-in browser steps cost $0.015 per step; self-driven browser sessions cost $0.002 per minute.
