Where to Use Search

Coding and code review
Generate, debug, and review code across languages, reading whole files or repos in a single prompt.

Agentic and multi-step workflows
Reliable tool-calling and instruction-following suit agent loops that plan, call tools, and iterate.

Complex reasoning
Extended reasoning improves reliability on multi-step math, logic, and technical analysis.

Long-document analysis
Summarize and extract from contracts, papers, and reports without aggressive chunking.

Use cases

Relace Search is documented as suited to codebase file retrieval, helping locate relevant files across large repositories. It is also used for agentic code search, where it performs multi-step search over codebases and returns highly relevant files for a query.

It is documented for refactor impact scoping, where it helps identify which parts of a codebase may be affected by a change. It is also used for bug context gathering, helping assemble relevant code context for debugging and issue investigation.

How to use Search API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to relace/relace-search.
import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY},
    json={
      "model": "relace/relace-search",
      "messages": [
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Hello!"
        }
      ]
    },
)
print(r.json())
const r = await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "relace/relace-search",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ]
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json());
curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"relace/relace-search","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'

OpenAI-compatible — swap the base URL and it works with your existing SDK.
