Amazon announced a new Web Search API on Bedrock AgentCore. It lets code call Amazon’s web index with one request and get ranked results, extracts, titles, URLs and publication times. The call uses the same AWS SDKs or CLI and IAM credentials as other Bedrock services, so no extra resources or API keys are required. The API supports domain and date filters, up to 25 results, and works from Lambda, EC2, ECS or EKS without changes.

## The facts

- Announcement date: 2026-11-12 ("Thu Nov 12 2026")
- Maximum results per call: 25

## Why it matters

It lets developers add up‑to‑date web grounding to apps or agent loops without building the full AgentCore Gateway stack.
