+Perfect for competitive analysis, market research, technical due diligence, or any question that needs more than a simple search result.
 
-## Example Use Cases
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Input | The research question (required) |
+| Research Effort | Controls depth and speed (see below, default: standard) |

-## Development
+| Level | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| Lite | Quick answers for straightforward questions |
+| Standard | Balanced speed and depth (default) |
+| Deep | More time researching and cross-referencing sources |
+| Exhaustive | Most thorough option for complex research tasks |
+
+## Credentials
 
-```bash
-# Install dependencies
-bun install
+1. Go to [you.com/platform/api-keys](https://you.com/platform/api-keys) to get an API key
+2. In n8n, go to Credentials and create a new "You.com API" credential
+3. Paste your API key and save
 
-# Build the package
-bun run build
+## Usage
 
-# Run tests
-bun test
+1. Add the "You.com" node to your workflow
+2. Select an operation (Search, Get Contents, or Research)
+3. Configure the parameters for your chosen operation
+4. Run the workflow
 
-# Linting, formatting, and type checking
-bun run check
-```
+This node also works as a tool for [AI agents in n8n](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent/). Connect it to an agent node and let the agent decide when to search the web, extract page content, or run deep research.
