💾 Overview
This page covers information to help users understand Serca beyond the basic level. It also covers service behavior, architecture concepts, and how the pipeline works end-to-end.
🛠️ Architecture Overview
At a high level, Serca starts from a set of seed URLs, discovers related pages/subdomains, scrapes and extracts content, runs an AI pipeline to generate metadata, and finally updates the database for searching.
Serca pipeline (concept)
This is a simplified diagram. It shows the data flow and the AI stage components at a glance.
Scraping + discovery
Starting from seed URLs, Serca discovers additional pages and subdomains, then scrapes content and metadata for analysis.
AI enrichment
The AI pipeline extracts text (OCR), detects objects (YOLO), generates captions (BLIP), and computes image features for stronger matching.
💳 Pricing
Serca will offer a free tier and paid tiers. The free tier is designed to be useful and safe; higher tiers enable larger query limits and additional capabilities.
Exact pricing may change as infrastructure costs and indexing scale. The goal is predictable billing and clear limits.
📦 API
Right now, Serca’s API is for backend/internal use while the platform stabilizes. A public API is planned once rate limiting, authentication, and documentation are ready.
Coming soon
- API keys + usage dashboard
- Rate limiting + tier-based quotas
- Public docs + examples
