You.com is built to power that kind of research. The You.com APIs are built to power real-time web search, content retrieval, and multi-step research—with every answer cited.

Powering web search for leading enterprises.

Tailored to find, synthesize and ship.

Used to power AI systems, AI Agents, research tools, data pipelines, and more for Clay’s engineering and product teams.

Search API

Take advantage of the world’s best Search API, delivering real-time results at record speed.

from youdotcom import You

with You("<apiKey>") as you:
    res = you.search.unified(
        query="best practices for scaling microservices architecture in production",
    )

    # Each result contains a title, URL, snippets and more
    if res.results and res.results.web:
        for result in res.results.web:
            print(f"Title: {result.title}")
            print(f"URL: {result.url}")
            if result.snippets:
                print(f"Snippet: {result.snippets[0]}\n")

Contents API

Fetch full page content for multiple URLs, streamlining content aggregation and analysis across various sources.

from youdotcom import You
from youdotcom.models import ContentsFormats

with You("<apiKey>") as you:
    res = you.contents.generate(
        urls=[
            "https://www.python.org",
            "https://www.example.com",
        ],
        formats=[ContentsFormats.HTML],
    )

    # Access the full page content in your chosen format
    for page in res:
        print(f"Title: {page.title}")
        print(f"HTML: {page.html}...")

Research API

Our tiered Research API—#1 in DeepSearchQA—pushes the frontier of accuracy and latency across both simple and complicated tasks.

from youdotcom import You
from youdotcom.models import ResearchEffort
 
you = You(api_key_auth="api_key")
 
res = you.research(
    input="Which global cities improved air quality the most over the past 10 years, and what measurable actions contributed?",
    research_effort=ResearchEffort.LITE,
)
 
print(res.output.content)
 
for i, source in enumerate(res.output.sources, 1):
    print(f"[{i}] {source.title or 'Untitled'}: {source.url}")

Finance Research API

Our Finance Research API delivers cited, source-reconciled financial intelligence across filings, macro data, and multi-step calculations. No infra required.

import requests

url = "https://api.you.com/v1/finance_research"
headers = {
    "X-API-Key": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}
payload = {
    "input": "Compare the free cash flow generation and capital allocation strategies of Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet over the past three fiscal years",
    "research_effort": "deep",
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()

print(data["output"]["content"])

for i, source in enumerate(data["output"]["sources"], 1):
    print(f"[{i}] {source.get('title') or 'Untitled'}: {source['url']}")
