Why Tako?
Traditional search APIs return a ranked list of links. But here’s where it breaks for agents: a search result is just a link. The agent still has to crawl it, parse it, pray the number is current, and hope it didn’t hallucinate the rest. We don’t think the future of development is agents reading webpages faster. It’s agents getting structured, real-time data pulled directly from the source. That’s Tako: a real-time knowledge API. Ask a question and get a synthesized, source-attributed answer — or dispatch a deep-research agent — all grounded in structured knowledge cards: typed data, named sources, and methodology, pulled straight from trusted providers across finance, macroeconomics, geopolitics, sports, and weather. Your model gets the data directly — far more compact than crawling pages. And where structured data isn’t the right fit, Tako covers the live web for you too, made agent-ready: web search results in Search, blended into the synthesized Answer, and full extracted page contents through Contents — so you get broad, accurate coverage without ever crawling a page yourself.One knowledge card — live win probabilities with their named source and methodology. Your agent reads the values directly, or embeds the chart as-is.

|---|---|---|
| What comes back | Typed, structured data — values, units, and time series | Cleaned web text: links, snippets, or page chunks |
| Source attribution | A named data provider and methodology, per value | A URL the text was scraped from |
| Coverage | Curated data providers plus the live web | Ranked open web only |
| Output | An interactive knowledge card, ready to render | Raw text your model still has to parse |
| Post-processing | None — data arrives typed and structured | Crawl, parse, dedupe, and reconcile it yourself |
| Correctness | Authoritative by named source | Ranked by relevance — you verify it |
