The assistant beta was ~1 year in beta.

Assistant had many bugs in the early stages, but it's different kind of beast than Search API (more things that can go wrong). With Search API it's probably "only" billing/UI bugs which they want to catch in the beta and maybe some problems with the search results from the API endpoint

Though in this case I'd say a few weeks, maybe 2 months. (They keep things in beta longer than it needs to be, to be completely sure nothing goes haywire especially if it's billing related like the pay per use API endpoint).

Assuming this page was launched today, I'd give you the benefit of the doubt. But this page has said that for as long as I've been a Kagi member (at least a year now I think), so that estimate seems pretty far of :)

Was more looking for someone with inside knowledge who might be able to give some sort of indication for when this becomes available to us "normal" users :)

FYI I Just asked them this:

> Any ETA when the Search API will be available for professional? Ball park of a few weeks or more like 2+ months?

And the answer was "2 months" from Vlad (Kagi Founder)

EDIT: After my comment he also commented this on this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42307588

Hah, great! Thanks for doing what I was too lazy to do :)

My estimation wasn't that wrong if I would've left out the first part, but a few weeks was maybe too hopeful ;)
