# Discover API

> | Use Bright Data's Discover API — intent-ranked, AI-relevance-scored web search at scale (not keyword SERP). Trigger a discovery job and retrieve ranked results (link, title, description, relevancescore) with optional parsed page content. Use when the user wants semantic/intent-based web search, "find pages about <topic that match <goal", web-grounded retrieval for an LLM, or results filtered by relevance rather than raw keyword rank. Covers the REST API (POST/GET /discover), the CLI (bdata discover), and the Python/JS SDKs (client.discover), including the standard/zeroRanking/deep/fast modes. This is the foundation skill for live-research and rag-pipeline. For keyword SERP use search; for structured platform data use data-feeds.
