Usage Guidelines

1 credit per search call. Free tier: 1,000/month.
Prefer lang: "zh-TW" for Taiwan topics, "zh-CN" for China topics, "auto" when unsure.
For broad Chinese queries, Kaiwu auto-expands Traditional ↔ Simplified (e.g., "人工智慧" also searches "人工智能").
Use time_range: "week" or "month" for recent news.
Results come from Google, DuckDuckGo, and Brave — no Baidu, no censorship filtering.
