What it does
You.com's site presents a set of APIs that give AI agents and language models access to the live web. The Web Search API returns results with titles, URLs and snippets, and the Contents API extracts clean content from pages. The site says you can generate grounded answers, and it lists an Answer API alongside separate Research and Finance Research APIs. A Python SDK example is shown on the page. A recent addition lets the Web Search API return live stock prices, crypto, weather and prediction-market data, at the same $5 per 1,000 calls. The site also points to benchmark results for search, research and finance research, and offers a free evaluation. For enterprise use it lists zero data retention, SOC 2 certification, readiness for data processing agreements and custom queries-per-second limits on request. Developers can connect through an MCP server or agent skills, and there are documentation guides for each API.
