We've created the core infrastructure needed to power private, real-time, reliable AI solutions so that you don't have to. Access real-time Search, Content and Research APIs, all with industry-leading accuracy.

Try our APIs

Refractive Light Graphic
Go to Platform
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")

Try it free — no API key required

Connect any MCP-enabled tool (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, and more) to https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free and use you-search with no signup or credentials. Limited to 100 queries per day. For higher limits and access to you-contents, you-research, and you-finance, get an API key at you.com/platform — new accounts start with $100 in complimentary credits. See the MCP Server guide for setup.

Install our docs MCP server

Give your agent a searchDocs tool that searches every page here — no API key, one command. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, and any MCP-enabled client.

Install (Claude Code):

$claude mcp add --transport http fern_mcp_you-com-docs https://you.com/docs/_mcp/server

For other clients, add https://you.com/docs/_mcp/server to your MCP server config.

Ask your agent to call searchDocs — here is what comes back:

  • “how do I use livecrawl?” → Add livecrawl to any /v1/search request to attach full page content (markdown or html) to each result; markdown is recommended for LLMs. /docs/guides/retrieve-page-content
  • “Python SDK quickstart” → pip install youdotcom, then You(YDC_API_KEY) and you.search.unified(query=...). /docs/sdks/python-sdk
  • “Research API output schema” → Pass output_schema in the request; the API returns typed JSON with content_type: "object". /docs/guides/research

See the MCP Server guide for other clients.
