Valyu vs Tavily Comparison

​

Why Teams Switch to Valyu

​

1. Access Data Web Search Can’t Reach

• 37M+ PubMed papers - Biomedical literature behind paywalls
• 3M+ SEC filings - 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K with full-text search
• 500K+ clinical trials - Study protocols, eligibility, outcomes
• 8M+ patents - Prior art and IP research
• Real-time financial data - Stock prices, earnings, fundamentals

​

2. Better Results for Professional Use Cases

from valyu import Valyu

valyu = Valyu()

# Search across web AND proprietary sources
response = valyu.search(
    "CAR-T cell therapy clinical outcomes 2024",
    search_type="all",  # Web + proprietary
    max_num_results=20
)

​

3. Same Simple API

# Valyu - drop-in replacement
from valyu import Valyu

valyu = Valyu()
response = valyu.search("your query here")

​
