You.com: Research API - Top Rated on the DeepSearchQA Benchmark

Used to power AI systems, AI Agents, research tools, data pipelines, and more, You.com's Research API is a single API call that researches a question and returns a complete, cited answer. Leveraging AI, the API reads multiple sources, cross-references what it finds, and synthesizes everything into a structured response with inline citations.Most applications that need web-grounded answers today require building a pipeline: search for results, fetch and parse pages, feed content to an LLM, handle citations. The Research API replaces that pipeline. You send a question, set a research effort level, and get back a Markdown-formatted answer with numbered citations tied to sources, ready to render or feed downstream. There is no additional parsing, ranking, or synthesis required on your end.
