Linkup gives Claude real-time web search with cited, source-backed results. It exposes search, fetch, and research operations through a production-grade API that Fortune 500s and AI labs actually run in their stacks. You get sub-second searches with full-text snippets, URL fetching for specific pages, and deep research mode for complex queries. The underlying service claims 75% accuracy on SimpleQA benchmarks and offers private indexing or bring-your-own-cloud deployment for enterprise setups. Reach for this when you need grounded answers with provenance, not just embeddings over static docs. It integrates with OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and CrewAI if you're already using those frameworks.
