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.

from youdotcom import You
from youdotcom.models import FinanceResearchEffort
with You() as you:
res = you.finance_research(
input="What were the key drivers of NVIDIA's revenue growth in fiscal year 2025?",
research_effort=FinanceResearchEffort.DEEP,
)
print(res.output.content)
for i, source in enumerate(res.output.sources, 1):
print(f"[{i}] {source.title or 'Untitled'}: {source.url}")

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.
