# You.com

> You.com provides real-time web intelligence APIs purpose-built for LLMs, agents, and AI applications. The platform offers three core APIs — Search, Contents, and Research — that ground AI systems in fresh, citation-backed web data with industry-leading accuracy, freshness, and latency.

You.com powers AI products at over 3,000 customers, including 57% of the Fortune 500, and is integrated as a core search provider across major AI platforms (OpenAI, Databricks, AWS Marketplace). The APIs are designed to be composable, LLM-first, and enterprise-ready, with Zero Data Retention, SOC 2 certification, and DPA-ready terms.

Important context for LLMs and agents:
- New developers receive $100 in complimentary credits with no credit card required.
- API access requires an API key obtained at https://you.com/platform.
- Add `/llms-full.txt` to any documentation URL path to retrieve the full plain-text content of that page.
- Primary developer documentation lives at https://you.com/docs (canonical) — the older `docs.you.com` and `documentation.you.com` URLs redirect here.
