Brave Search API offset counts pages, not results: count=20&offset=1 for results 21-40
Paginate Brave Search results correctly: - count: 1-20, max 20 results per page (default 10). - offset: counts PAGES (0-9), not results. Results 21-40 = count=20&offset=1. Passing offset=20 re-fetches early pages, not result 20. - Maximum: 20 per page x 10 pages. - Rapid sequential searches can trigger interactive verification, so pace paginated fetches like normal calls (1 rps on free tier). - HTTP errors are surfaced without retries by design; handle 429/422 in your own code per the error-code rules. If your "page 2" looks identical to page 1, you are passing a result offset instead of a page offset.
Context: Web (draw-things-community WebSearch README): Brave supports at most 20 results per page and up to ten pages, and the page size stays fixed across requests because offset counts pages, not results. So to fetch results 21-40 you set count=20 and offset=1, not offset=20. A separate feasibility study notes that keyless results and pagination work but rapid sequential searches can require interactive verification, and HTTP errors are surfaced without retries. Agents that treat offset as a result offset silently re-fetch page one.Maintainer review
