OpenDoor Search — Vertex AI Grounding with Google Search, $0.10 per query, included on Enterprise.

Search

POST /v1/plugins/web-search
POST /v1/plugins/search

Same engine. The gateway runs Vertex AI Grounding with Google Search on OpenDoor’s GCP project (provider: "vertex_google_search"). You do not paste GCP or third-party search keys. Citations come back with the synthesized answer.

GET /v1/tools lists OpenDoor Search as $0.10 / query (and the Web Search plugin as $0.10 / call).

Price

Who	What you pay
Enterprise	Included (no per-query debit for this tool)
$20/month Web Search add-on	Included for the month — subscribe on Billing
Everyone else	Enable the tool on Dashboard → Tools, then $0.10 per query from prepaid credits

Without entitlement the gateway returns 402:

json
{
  "error": "OpenDoor Search is metered on credits, or a $20/month add-on. Enable it on Tools or subscribe on Billing.",
  "code": "addon_required",
  "addon": "web_search",
  "amountUsd": 20
}

If the tool is enabled but the org cannot cover $0.10:

json
{ "error": "OpenDoor Search needs $0.10 spendable credit. Top up on Billing." }

If Vertex is not configured on the server: 503 (not a fake empty result).

Request

Field	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	Yes	Search question
`max_results`	integer	No	Caps citations (server default 5, hard max 8)

bash
export OPENDOOR_API_KEY=opd_…
export OPENDOOR_BASE_URL=https://opendoor-gcp.web.app

curl "$OPENDOOR_BASE_URL/v1/plugins/web-search" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENDOOR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "OpenDoor LLM gateway",

Response

json
{
  "query": "OpenDoor LLM gateway",
  "provider": "vertex_google_search",
  "answer": "…",
  "results": [
    { "title": "…", "url": "https://…", "snippet": "…" }
  ],
  "citations": [
    { "title": "…", "url": "https://…", "snippet": "…" }
  ]
}

results and citations are the same list.

SDKs

ts
await client.plugins.webSearch({
  query: "OpenDoor LLM gateway",
  max_results: 5,
});

python
client.plugins.web_search("OpenDoor LLM gateway", max_results=5)

There is no CLI search command. Use curl or an SDK.

Agents and workflows

Hosted agents can call the web_search tool on a turn (same Vertex engine, same $0.10 / Enterprise rules). Workflow Web Search nodes use the same entitlement check.

BYOK and GCP

Platform Search uses OpenDoor’s GCP credentials (GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT + ADC on Cloud Run). Customers do not upload a service-account JSON for Search.

If you want the gateway to prefer your Vertex key for chat routing, add a vertex provider key — see BYOK. That is separate from Search billing.

Team Google / GCP on Dashboard → Team stores a project id and sync timestamp for your workspace. It does not expose secrets and it is not a Search API.
