# Linkup

> Find and access high-quality web content using the Linkup API, integrated with Friendli Model APIs for seamless interaction.

export const RoundedBorderBox = ({children, caption}) => <div className="rounded-border-box">
    {children}
    {caption && <p className="text-sm text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400">{caption}</p>}
  </div>;

**Linkup** provides real-time web search capabilities. With Linkup integration in FriendliAI, you can easily enhance your AI applications with up-to-date facts, recent events, and current information that goes beyond what your model was trained on.

You can use Linkup's real-time web search through Friendli Model APIs with just a few simple steps.

## How to Use

### For Playground Testing

1. Create an account at [**Friendli Suite**](https://friendli.ai/suite).
2. Go to **Model APIs** from your Project and click the **'Try'** button to open the playground.
3. In the playground, open the **Tools** panel and select **Search the web (Linkup)** to test the integration.

## Notes & Caveats

* Linkup and FriendliAI both have rate limits — handle retries/backoff accordingly.
* Keep API keys and tokens secret (use environment variables or secret managers).
