/youcom
You.com offers a web search API powered by its own index, plus a higher-order Research API that returns synthesized, cited answers to multi-step questions. It’s tuned specifically for grounding language models, with controls like domain boosting to steer results toward sources you trust. The mix of raw retrieval and ready-made research output makes it a flexible backend for everything from quick lookups to deep, agent-driven investigation.
Choose if
You want an independent index with soft domain-boosting and a cited Research API.
Avoid if
You need a flat result shape (results live under results.web[] with snippets[] — needs an adapter).
