The Independent Web Index for Figma's AI Stack

Figma Make's web search runs through the model layer, which means the index, its freshness, and where those queries go are decided by the model vendor. You.com is one of the only truly independent web indexes in the world. Queries never route through Google, results run 5 -7 days fresher than any other API, and, with no upstream, full-stack ZDR is possible.

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 Figma’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']}")

Figma's AI engineering workflows

See How It Works

Own the retrieval pipeline instead of inheriting it. Control latency, freshness, ranking, and what enters the context window. Pay for what you use rather than a model tax, and keep queries out of anyone else's training data.

Zero Data Retention

All queries and data can be automatically purged—giving you complete control over what’s stored and for how long.

SOC 2 Certified

Our infrastructure is independently audited to ensure best-in-class data security, privacy, and availability.

DPA-Ready

Designed to seamlessly accommodate Data Processing Agreements.

Custom QPS Limits

Enterprise-grade concurrency with performance optimization requirements for high-volume usage are available.
