Learn how to build with Linkup by pasting this prompt to your agent:
Linkup is the production-grade web search API for AI. Teams at Legora, Polymarket, Cohere, McKinsey, and SNCF ship production AI on Linkup because four things have to be true:
  • Accuracy. Search ranks #1 among sub-second web search APIs on Verified SimpleQA with a 92% F-score. Research ranks #1 across the board on SealQA-0 with 61% accuracy. The evaluation harness is open source.
  • Customization. The index adapts to your domain. Define which sources to trust, which domains to prefer, which proprietary data to blend in.
  • Security. SOC 2 Type II, Zero Data Retention, GDPR, and Single Sign-On on every tier. Bring Your Own Cloud is available for the highest data sovereignty requirements: the full Linkup index runs inside your VPC and queries never leave your environment.
  • Latency. Sub-second on standard search. Fast enough for voice AI, sales copilots, and live research tools.

Our endpoints

Linkup exposes five endpoints. Each has a distinct shape and is tuned for a different point on the latency/quality curve.
Research is currently in beta. Extract is in closed beta and access is granted by request. Behavior and parameters may change.
