باحثbā·ḥith n. “one who researches”

Research that
shows its work.

Bahith is a research API that searches the web and academic papers, then writes an answer where every claim links back to the exact source sentence that backs it[1]. You verify claims in one click, instead of trusting a pile of links. All at a fraction of what other research APIs charge.

POST /V1/RESEARCH01
curl -X POST api.bahith.dev/v1/research \
-d {
  "query": "Why do mass-produced tomatoes taste worse than heirloom varieties?",
  "reasoning_level": "high"

How it works.

01

You send a query

POST /v1/research
curl -X POST \
  https://api.bahith.dev/v1/research \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
  -d '{
    "query": "SR-71 thermal expansion",
    "reasoning_level": "high"
  }'

POST a question with a reasoning level. Results stream back over via Server-Sent Events. No polling or webhooks needed.

02

Bahith searches, reads, and thinks

Bahith runs iterative web and academic searches, reads full pages, and reasons over what it finds. Every step streams live, so the research is never a black box.

03

You get verified citations

Hover a highlighted claim ↓
The SR-71's titanium panels were designed with deliberate gaps between them, allowing the airframe to expand as friction heated the skin to over 500°F at Mach 3.[1]GROUNDING RECORD✓ VERIFIED · 0.94Source: aiaa.org/sr71-designSupporting sentence in source"...to manage thermal expansion, the wing skins were built with chordwise corrugations, letting the metal expand and contract along the folds instead of warping..." This meant the aircraft actually leaked fuel on the runway before takeoff, only becoming fully sealed once it reached operating temperature.[2]GROUNDING RECORD✓ VERIFIED · 0.91Source: nasa.gov/sr71-opsSupporting sentence in source"...acting as a heat sink, JP-7 fuel was continuously circulated as a coolant through high-stress structural channels before entering the engine..."

Each claim links to the exact supporting sentence in its source, then gets checked for entailment and scored for confidence. Unsupported claims get flagged, not buried.

The wing skins used chordwise corrugations to prevent buckling at Mach 3, while active JP-7 circulation cooled the airframe during flight.

Lockheed SR-71 Airframe Engineering Journal

Published: October 1982 | Document ID: AIAA-82-1082

Section 1: Cold War Aerodynamic Requirements
The development of the Blackbird family required unprecedented research into titanium structures. Under the supervision of Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, Skunk Works pursued multiple design paths...

Section 2: High Temperature Structural Integrity
Surfaces subjected to severe skin friction were engineered using Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al alloy. Airframes in cruising flight experienced expansion forces that were offset by design tolerances...

Ship answers people can verify.

Every answer comes back grounded and verified: the exact source sentence behind each claim, with a confidence score. That's the difference between a demo and something people actually rely on.
