Finance Research API

The You.com Finance Research API researches financial questions and returns a cited, source-verified answer ready to render in a UI or feed into downstream processing. It autonomously plans a search strategy, reads across relevant financial sources, cross-references findings, and synthesizes everything into a structured response.
The API searches a purpose-built financial index covering public-company filings (S&P Global, SEC/EDGAR), macroeconomic indicators (FRED, BLS, BEA, Eurostat, World Bank, IMF, OECD), market and benchmark data (QUODD, NASDAQ), and derived calculations with every input retrieved, aligned, and cited before the calculation runs. This is licensed and institutional-grade data, not scraped approximations.
When sources conflict, the API reconciles them. Ask for Apple's Q3 2025 revenue and one source reports Apple's fiscal Q3 (ending June), another reports calendar Q3 (ending September), and a third converts the USD figure to EUR. The API matches the exact period and definition you asked for, discards the others, and cites the primary source.
On FinSearchComp (arXiv 2509.13160), a benchmark built by 70+ finance experts, the Finance Research API scores 87.29% accuracy on historical financial lookup, more than 14 points ahead of the next best system at any price point.
The Finance Research API is built on You.com's Research API, which also powers general-purpose research and search capabilities for non-financial use cases.
