Where can I buy an on-line Factory Service Manual for a 2024 Toyota Venza? I found a couple offerings on the internet but do not know if they are accurate and detailed. Thanks.

If you mean a paper manual, they don't make them. And you can't "buy" the manual, you have to rent it by the day, month or year from Toyota as mentioned above.
Personally I would not bother with the subscription as for maintenance, you can find a lot of info online, even screenshots right from the service manual.
For example, I just found the CVT fluid adjustment procedure for my C-HR straight from the factory service manual. Even goes over the process that doesn’t require techstream.

TIS - the link above - is like $20 for a 48 hour pass - durring which you can print as much as you like. Make a list of the things you want to know and buy a pass.
They have all gone that way as far as I know. I also wish you could just buy a paper manual, but welcome to our dystopian future.

If it’s $20 for 48 hours than may as well hold off until it’s needed IMO.
Right, paper manuals stopped a long time ago. I am looking for a pdf I can download. Honda used to partner with a company (forget name) that sold OEM service manuals as CD or link. I got it for my 2010 MDX. You could print but not share files. I may just use tech info as needed. I have used that before.
I used to get service manuals when I purchased a new vehicle, usually as a freebie. Those days are gone.

FWIW, and I know this is not useful for a 2024 Venza, but in for vehicles 2013 and earlier, the first place I go is: https://charm.li/

I think the last one I bought paper was my 1996 Oldsmobile. I bought the car in 1999, it was several books, and I recall it being $300+, so probably the equivalent of maybe $600 today.
Regarding TIS; I've done this twice, for the LS400 and the Highlander.
Go to Toyota Information services and purchase a subscription (for however long your wallet will allow). A Standard subscription will suffice for DIY. The subscription purchase is managed by a third party (Snap-On?) and can take 2-3 days for it to become active.

Once you purchase a subscription and are logged in, bookmark the address as a precaution. A few times I had difficulty logging in to the address above; I don't know why.
Enter your vehicle info and you'll see a list of all the available documents. Printing directly from TIS is time consuming. It's better to download the files (.pdf) to your PC and print them from there.
If you're just going to download the Maintenance documents, these will more than likely contain embedded links (a majority of documents contain these links); click on the link (while in TIS) and download the documents the link(s) point to. If you click on a link in a downloaded document, it will take you back to the TIS login page; this works only if your subscription is still current. Otherwise, consider the link broken until you re-subscribe; you can hover over the link to get the Document Number, but this method creates a whole different can of worms; it's best to deal with embedded links through a current subscription.
