You.com
You.com runs an AI search and chat product alongside a developer platform that exposes web search APIs designed for AI systems, agents, and LLMs. The platform offers Search, Web Search, Contents, News, Smart, Research, and Finance Research APIs for grounding LLMs in real-time web data. You.com publishes benchmark wins on DeepSearchQA and FinSearchComp and targets 300ms p99 latency with 99.99% uptime and SOC 2 enterprise controls. APIs use X-API-Key authentication and a Python SDK is available. Free trial access is provided through the platform dashboard with enterprise options including zero data retention.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles You.com the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — You.com scores 27.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile You.com
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for You.com. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 4
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
You.com Search API
The You.com Search API returns real-time web search results tailored for AI agents and LLMs, with controls for freshness, category, and result shape.
You.com Contents API
The Contents API extracts clean, structured page content from one or many URLs, returning text suitable for downstream LLM consumption.
You.com Research API
The Research API orchestrates multi-step web research to produce ranked, cited responses to complex questions. It is benchmarked at the top of DeepSearchQA.
You.com Finance Research API
The Finance Research API specializes in financial intelligence, returning sourced answers to investment and markets questions. Ranked first on FinSearchComp.
GraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GRAPHQLPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

FINOPSSecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
