If I understand this part correctly
> We plan to release this API to all Kagi members after the beta period.
eventually this will be usable (for the 2.5c per search) for any member, without the added 19$ per month (just your standard sub cost). I expect this will come in handy as a tool for AI assistant apps.
Anyway, happy Kagi user for around 2 years now, recommend it very much!
Could someone with knowledge possibly give some hints of when the beta period is over?
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 :)

> 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)
