Finance Research API Quickstart
Get a cited answer from a finance-optimized index.
The Finance Research API works like the Research API—same request shape, same response shape—but it searches a finance-optimized index instead of the open web: SEC filings, equity prices, fundamentals, macro indicators, and financial news.
Get an API key at you.com/platform. New accounts start with $100 in complimentary credits. The samples below read YDC_API_KEY. See the site Quickstart for the five-API tour and API key management for best practices.
It accepts two parameters: input (your financial question) and research_effort (deep or exhaustive). It does not support source_control or output_schema. If you need domain filtering or structured JSON, use the Research API.
