Building Search API
When the JS widget isn't enough, the Keyspider REST API gives you complete control. Query the index, retrieve results with full metadata, build custom result templates, and wire search into any application or platform — with no constraints on how results are displayed or used.
How it works
Get your API key
From the Keyspider admin console, generate an API key scoped to your collection. Keys can be restricted by domain or IP for additional security.
Make a search request
Send a GET or POST request to the search endpoint with your query and parameters. The API returns a structured JSON response with all result fields and metadata.
Build your interface
Consume the response however your application needs. Build a fully custom UI, pipe results into an existing component library, or feed search data into a third-party system.
Use cases
Custom search interfaces
Design a results page that matches your brand and UX system exactly — without being constrained by widget templates. Every pixel is yours to control.
Headless and composable architectures
In a headless CMS or composable DXP, the search API is a first-class content service. Query and display search results anywhere in your stack.
Mobile applications
Native iOS and Android apps can call the Keyspider search API directly — delivering full-featured search to mobile users without a web dependency.
