One thing quickly became clear:\n\nBuilding the API isn't the hardest part. Collecting meaningful developer feedback is.\n\nWe've launched a Discord-based onboarding and testing program for developers building AI applications that rely on fresh web information.\n\nAll developers are welcome to join and help us improve the product.\n\n**Getting started**\n\nIf you want to poke at it, here is the simple work flow:\n\nVerified developers get access to:\n\n**What We're Actually Looking For**\n\nWe're not simply looking for people to tell us whether the API is \"good\" or \"bad.\"\n\nWe're interested in understanding how developers evaluate search quality in real AI applications.\n\nFor each testing round, we encourage contributors to share:\n\nSometimes a \"failed\" search teaches us far more than a successful one.\n\nThat's exactly the kind of feedback we're hoping to collect.\n\nDevelopers who consistently contribute useful reports can receive additional API credits, and improvements inspired by community feedback may be acknowledged in future product updates.\n\n**We'd love your input**\n\nThis program is still evolving, and we're learning as we go.\n\nIf you've built AI agents or applications that rely on web search, we'd love to hear your thoughts:\n\nUseful reports can earn additional API request credits. Findings that lead to an actual product fix may also receive credit in the Querit Changelog.\n\nIf you'd like to participate, you can join our Discord community here:\n\n[https://discord.gg/sYQaFSHxyU](https://discord.gg/sYQaFSHxyU)\n\nWe're looking forward to building this program together with the developer community—and we'd love to hear how you'd improve it", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/muwen_xu_5f4e82383dfcaf97/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis-1k4c", "published_at": "2026-07-30 07:09:10+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-30 07:31:40.783088+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-products", "ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Querit", "Discord"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/building-a-community-driven-testing-program-for-ai-search-apis.jsonld"}}
