Product overview
What is Linkup?
Linkup is a production-oriented web search API for AI applications. It gives developers one interface for retrieving a web page, running fast web searches, or conducting deeper research across multiple sources. Results are designed to support grounded AI responses with source information and full-text snippets.
Teams can tune the index, choose sources, and set freshness requirements. For organizations with stricter control or compliance needs, Linkup also offers deployment of the indexing layer inside the customer's own cloud so data can remain in that environment.
