Describe the moment. Land on the frame.
WAVE Search indexes every word said and every scene shown, then returns ranked hits at the timecode. One query costs $0.005, quoted by the API and settled per call. No scrubbing, no filenames.
You remember the moment, not the filename
An archive you cannot search is an archive you do not own. The clip you can describe but cannot locate is reachable by describing what was said or shown. You stop scrubbing timelines and guessing filenames: you type the memory and land on the frame, across every hour of media under your key.
The API quotes the price. This page only repeats it.
Call the route with no key and it answers HTTP 402 with a machine-readable quote: what it costs, in what asset, on what network, and how long the quote stands. A person reads it. An agent pays it and retries. Same route, same shape, both kinds of user.

Every transcript, scene, and clip, vector-indexed
Retrieval is hybrid: a dense vector pass and a sparse BM25 pass, fused by reciprocal rank. Namespaces are tenant-isolated. There is no index to babysit, no seat license, and no second console: auth, scope, and metering settle through api.wave.online on the key you already hold.
One plane, not a silo
Search is one call shape on WAVE, media infrastructure for the agentic internet. The moment you find is a moment you can clip, stream, or route on the same key and the same meter. The archive stops being a graveyard and becomes a layer the rest of your stack can query.
Federated: auth, entitlement, and metering run through api.wave.online. This spoke renders the front door and forwards the rest.
