With Microsoft officially retiring Bing Search APIs on August 11, 2025, developers, enterprises, and innovators everywhere are facing a critical inflection point. The old guard of search APIs — built for SEO and simple web queries — are being sunset, leaving a gap for teams who need real-time, reliable, and AI-ready access to the world’s information

Enter you.com’s Search APIs: purpose-built for the age of AI, designed to empower LLMs, agents, copilots, and next-gen research tools with factual, up-to-date data and powerful customization. Here’s why you.com is quickly becoming the leading choice for search and web APIs. The Search APIs provide you with direct snippets and verifying URLs to stay informed, delivering answers that reflect the most current, high-authority public information.

5 reasons why you.com Search APIs are the replacement for Bing APIs

You.com’s Search APIs are designed with modern developers and businesses in mind, offering next-generation search solutions that stand out in the following key areas:

1. LLM-First Design and Advanced AI Integration

You.com’s APIs are optimized for large language models (LLMs) and AI-specific use cases. Results aren’t just meta tag snippets—they’re long-form, extractive, citation-ready answers, perfect for grounding LLMs and delivering trustworthy outputs.

2. Real-Time, Factual Data at Scale

While index-based data can quickly become outdated,  you.com’s Web Search and Live News APIs offer real-time web access. This means your applications can retrieve the most up-to-date information, a critical advantage for industries that rely on current data, such as media, retail, and hospitality.

3. Flexibility and Customization

You.com’s Search APIs are built for flexibility, offering two distinct flavors:

  • Web Search: For general search needs.
  • News Search: Focused on real-time news aggregation.

This level of customization allows developers to tailor the search experience to their specific use cases, whether it’s powering a niche application or a large-scale enterprise platform.

4. Enterprise-Grade Privacy and Security

In an era where data privacy is paramount, you.com takes a strong stance on protecting user information by providing robust privacy measures and the ability to guarantee Zero Data Retention—a critical consideration for businesses handling sensitive information.

5. Easy Migration and World-Class Support

Moving from Bing or another provider? You.com makes it seamless, with extensive documentation, responsive support, and clear integration guidelines. Onboarding is fast, and most APIs are available self-serve with flexible pricing. You’ll be up and running in minutes, not weeks.
