Hello Team
We see that Tavily is taking a minimum of 4 seconds to reply even when we have set max of 3 responses to be retried.
Is this in the expected lines? What can we do to get the responses within a second?
FYI, as of now we are using a Free plan for our POC and if its successful, would consider switching to an enterprise plan.
Hey there,
Thank you for your feedback. A ~3-second response time can occur due to a few factors beyond the number of documents retrieved. For instance, fetching raw content, images, or targeting specific domains can add a bit of time. The complexity of the queries you’re running also plays a part.
When querying responses with topic="news", you can expect shorter response times, so you might want to experiment with that if news queries are relevant to your needs.
We’re more than happy to work with you to optimize your setup and meet your needs as you continue exploring the API. Feel free to reach out here or privately at support@tavily.com
