New team roles & permissions

August 2025

Role options: Owner, Admin, Member

You can now assign roles to team members, giving you more control over access and permissions. Each team has one owner, while there can be multiple admins and multiple members. The key distinction between roles is in their permissions for Billing and Settings:

Owner
- Full access to all Settings
- Access and ownership of the Billing account
Admin
- Full access to Settings except ownership transfer
- No access to Billing
Member
- Limited Settings access (view members only)
- No access to Billing

Extract timeout parameter

August 2025

timeout parameter

You can now specify a custom timeout for the Extract endpoint to control how long to wait for URL extraction before timing out.
Type: number (float)
Range: Between 1.0 and 60.0 seconds
Default behavior: If not specified, automatic timeouts are applied based on extract_depth: 10 seconds for basic extraction and 30 seconds for advanced extraction.
This gives you fine-grained control over extraction timeouts, allowing you to balance between reliability and speed based on your specific use case.

Start date & end date Parameters

July 2025

start_date parameter,end_date parameter

You can now use both the start_date and end_date parameters in the Search endpoints.
start_date will return all results after the specified start date. Required to be written in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
end_date will return all results before the specified end date. Required to be written in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
Set start_date to 2025-01-01 and end_date to 2025-04-01 to reiceive results strictly from this time range.

The usage dashboard provides the following features to paid users/teams:

The Usage Graph offers a breakdown of daily usage across all Tavily endpoints with historical data to enable month over month usage and spend comparison.
The Logs Table offers granular insight into each API request to ensure visibility and traceability with every Tavily interaction.

Include favicon parameter

June 2025

include_favicon parameter

You can now include the favicon URL for each result in the Search, Extract, and Crawl endpoints.
Set the include_favicon parameter to true to receive the favicon URL (if available) for each result in the API response.
This makes it easy to display website icons alongside your search, extraction, or crawl results, improving the visual context and user experience in your application.

Auto parameters (BETA)

June 2025

Tavily Search
auto_parameters (BETA)

Boolean default: false
When auto_parameters is enabled, Tavily automatically configures search parameters based on your query’s content and intent. You can still set other parameters manually, and your explicit values will override the automatic ones.
The parameters include_answer, include_raw_content, and max_results must always be set manually, as they directly affect response size.
Note: search_depth may be automatically set to advanced when it’s likely to improve results. This uses 2 API credits per request. To avoid the extra cost, you can explicitly set search_depth to basic.
Currently in BETA.

- Specify the starting URL and let the crawler intelligently follow links to map out the site structure.
- Control the depth and breadth of the crawl, allowing you to focus on specific sections or perform comprehensive site-wide analysis.
- Apply filters and custom instructions to target only the most relevant pages or content types.
- Aggregate extracted content for further analysis, reporting, or integration into your workflows.
- Seamlessly integrate with your automation tools or use the API directly for flexible, programmatic access.
Tavily Crawl is ideal for use cases such as large-scale content aggregation, competitive research, knowledge base creation, and more.
