Linkup

Overview

This doc outlines how to use the Linkup connector to search and retrieve information using natural language queries.

Setup

To use Linkup, you'll need an API key from your Linkup account's home page. You can also use Cargo credits if you don't have a Linkup account.

Credits pricing

Search: Each search will cost 1 credit.
Instruct: Each instruction will cost 1 credit.

Actions

Search - Retrieve search results from Linkup
Define your natural language query and search depth to find relevant information. The search depth can be:

• standard: Quick search with standard accuracy
• deep: Thorough search requiring agentic thinking

Instruct - Get structured or sourced answers from Linkup
Similar to search, but with additional output format options:

• sourcedAnswer: Get a direct answer including source links
• structured: Get a custom-formatted response according to your specified JSON schema

When using structured output, you must provide a schema that defines the shape of the response you want, for example:

{
  "answer": {
    "type": "string",
    "description": "The answer to the query"
  },
  "storeCount": {
    "type": "number",
    "description": "The number of stores found"
  }
}
