Today we're excited to announce that Nimble's Web Search Platform is available across the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, giving Snowflake customers turnkey web search and data retrieval to unify their internal data with external signals.

Nimble's updated integration with Snowflake includes two Native Apps on the Snowflake Marketplace, SQL functions for Cortex Agents, a SQL-native enrichment function for pipelines, and MCP support for Cortex Code.

The gap between your warehouse and the world

Snowflake's AI surfaces, including Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Code, and Streamlit, are remarkable at orchestrating the data you already own. But the world your data describes lives outside the warehouse. Competitor prices changed this morning. A regulator published new guidance this week. The companies in your account table rebranded, merged, or shut down. Many business questions need both internal data and current external signals. Until now, getting web data into Snowflake meant building and maintaining scrapers, proxies, and parsers outside your governance perimeter.

Search and retrieve live web data into your warehouse, without leaving Snowflake

Nimble automates the process of discovering, retrieving, and processing the precise web data you need and bringing it into Snowflake. Nimble's APIs for web search, page extraction, site mapping, crawling, and web research tasks now sit within your warehouse tables, semantic models, and Cortex skills. Use Nimble within:

• Native Snowflake Apps to search and retrieve web data into Snowflake: install in one click from the Snowflake Marketplace and connect your key to call Nimble's tools straight from SQL. Execute web searches via Nimble's Search API, research tasks with Web Search Agents, and site-specific extraction (Amazon, Google, Walmart, Maps, and hundreds more) with Nimble's Extract API.
• NIMBLE_SEARCH and NIMBLE_EXTRACT for Cortex Agents: scalar UDFs that return VARIANT, usable inline in any SELECT, view, dbt model, or join. A pre-built Cortex Agent wires them into Snowflake Intelligence, so a chat can research the live web and answer with citations.
• NIMBLE_AGENT_RUN for data enrichment: a SQL-native table function that lateral-joins any table against Nimble Web Search Agents and returns typed, structured output. dbt-native, Task-native, no LLM in the loop.
• Nimble MCP in Cortex Code: one cortex mcp add command puts the full Nimble web data toolkit in every Cortex Code session.

Governed by design

Everything runs inside your Snowflake account. Your Nimble API key lives in a Snowflake Secret you control. Outbound traffic is restricted by a Network Rule and External Access Integration to Nimble's endpoint only, and access is granted through scoped Snowflake roles. One-time setup by ACCOUNTADMIN takes under five minutes.

What teams are building

A leading Food & Beverage brand keeps its product master in Snowflake and wants daily competitive intelligence across major retailers and grocery stores. With Nimble, Search finds each SKU's listing URL per retailer, Extract pulls price, stock, and reviews, and the enriched rows land in a PRODUCT_LISTINGS table. A view on top flags 10%+ price drops and stockouts and feeds the morning briefing, all scheduled with a Snowflake Task, all inside the account. The complete recipe, along with every setup script and UDF, is open in our cookbook.

Beyond price monitoring, joint customers use the integration to enrich account tables with current company metadata, validate that entities in Cortex Analyst semantic models still resolve, ground Streamlit dashboards in live market context, and build Cortex Agents that research and verify as part of their workflow.
