Introduction
Welcome to the Quickstart Guide for integrating comprehensive, high-quality answers with precise and reliable citations using our Smart, Research, Search and News APIs. This guide will walk you through the initial setup and provide you with sample code to perform searches and retrieve results.
Step 1: Set Up Your API Key
Before You Get Started
To use the You.com Smart, Research, Search and News LLM endpoints, you can get an API key through the self-serve portal at api.you.com. For support, please reach out via email at api@you.com.
Replace X-API-Key in the code with your actual API key:
API Key
YOUR_API_KEY = "your_actual_api_key_here"
Step 2: Write the Search Function
Create a function to interact with the Research API:
Learn more about the Smart API .
smart_api.py
import requests
def get_smart_results(query):
headers = {"X-API-Key": YOUR_API_KEY}
params = {"query": query, "instructions": instructions}
return requests.get(
"https://chat-api.you.com/smart?query={query}",
params=params,
headers=headers,
).json()
Use the function to search for AI snippets related to a specific topic:

"answer":"#### The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics\n\n
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to **John J. Hopfield**
and **Geoffrey E. Hinton** \"for foundational discoveries and inventions that
enable machine learning with artificial neural networks\".
[[1]](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2024/summary/) [[2]](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2024/press-release/)\n\n
Hopfield and Hinton are pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence and
machine learning. Their work in the 1980s laid the groundwork for the development of
modern neural networks and deep learning algorithms, which are now widely used in
various applications.
[[3]](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2024/popular-information/) [[4]](https://spectrum.ieee.org/nobel-prize-in-physics)\n\n
Specifically, Hopfield created a structure that can store and reconstruct information, while Hinton
invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, which are key
innovations that make artificial intelligence work.
[[5]](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/10/nobel-prize-winners-2024/)\n\n
The Nobel Prize committee recognized their \"foundational discoveries
and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks\",
highlighting how their work has been instrumental in the rapid progress of AI and machine
learning in recent years.
