Web Search APIs

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}")
