Valyu is a search and retrieval API built for AI agents and LLMs. Its DeepSearch returns full extracted, structured content — not just links — from the open web plus proprietary and paywalled sources like academic papers, regulatory filings, patents, and financial data. A separate DeepResearch API runs asynchronous, multi-step research across those sources and synthesizes the results into reports and structured data.

Pros & cons

  • Searches proprietary and paywalled sources
  • Returns structured content, not just links
  • Deep research API for multi-step tasks
  • Flat per-task pricing
  • No free tier
  • Early-stage company
  • Developer / API-only
  • Premium data sources cost more

    Production-grade web search API for AI agents.

    A web search API built for LLMs and agents. Linkup returns sourced, cited answers with full-text snippets in seconds, plus a Fetch endpoint for URL extraction and a Research endpoint that runs multi-step, chain-of-thought deep research. It integrates via MCP and SDK wrappers for OpenAI, LangChain, CrewAI, and more, and offers zero-data-retention enterprise hosting.

    Parallel

    Parallel Web Systems

    High-accuracy web search and research APIs for AI agents.

    Parallel gives AI agents programmatic access to the web through a suite of APIs — a Search API, a Task API for structured extraction, and a Deep Research API for multi-hop questions — all served from its own proprietary web index and retrieval stack. It optimizes for high-signal, low-noise context fed straight into a model rather than ranking URLs for human clicks. Pricing is per request (the Search API starts at $0.005 per call) with a free allotment to start.
