Add Tako to your agent
The fastest way to build with Tako. Paste one prompt into your coding agent to wire Tako into an existing project, or create a new Tako agent from the console.- Build a Tako agent from scratch
- Add to your agent
Create a Tako-powered agent
Follow the agent quickstart in the console. It generates a prompt for your coding agent in seconds to build with the Tako APIs.
Installation
Tako ships official SDKs for Python and TypeScript / JavaScript. Every endpoint is also a singlePOST, so any other language works over the REST API directly.

Store it as an environment variable — for example
TAKO_API_KEY — rather than hardcoding it.Pick the right tool
Each API is a single call over the same curated, real-time data — here’s what each one is for, and why it beats a generic search API. Expand a tool to see when to reach for it.Agent — token-efficient deep research, grounded in accurate data
Agent — token-efficient deep research, grounded in accurate data
- Rank a cohort. “Which of the 20 largest US semiconductor companies grew revenue fastest since 2015?” — the Agent resolves the set, pulls each company’s data, and ranks them in one long-running run you dispatch and poll.
- Background research job. Kick off an overnight run that compiles a competitor’s funding history, headcount, and recent filings into one cited brief, and read it when it finishes.
Answer — written response backed by proprietary data
Answer — written response backed by proprietary data
- Ground a chat assistant in real data. “What was NVIDIA’s latest quarterly revenue?” comes back as a finished written answer with the licensed data and web sources that back it attached — drop it straight into the conversation, no retrieval to wire up.
- Keep a page current without an editor. A weekly market recap renders “How did the S&P 500 do this week?” as written copy plus the cards behind it, then re-runs each morning so the words and the data stay in sync.
Search — fast data retrieval from licensed partners and web
Search — fast data retrieval from licensed partners and web
- Fan out for an agent. One call per entity — “NVDA revenue last 4 quarters”, “AMD revenue last 4 quarters” — returns structured series in parallel with no LLM in the loop, so your agent computes on real values instead of waiting on generated text.
- Embed a live chart. “Gold price, last 5 years” comes back as an interactive knowledge card — licensed data plus matching web results in the same call — ready to drop into a dashboard.
Contents — export the data and web content behind any answer or search result
Contents — export the data and web content behind any answer or search result
- Export a Tako card’s time series. Pass a Tako card URL — say the “US CPI, year over year” card from a Search or Answer result — and Contents returns that card’s full time series as CSV: load it into a dataframe or spreadsheet, or have an agent compute a 3-year growth rate on the real numbers.
- Read the full page behind a web result. Pass the URL of a web result and get clean extracted text instead of raw HTML — the whole source your answer cited, ready for an agent to read.

Search returns fast, structured knowledge cards for a query — no LLM in the loop. Ideal for pulling live prices you render or compute on yourself.

No setup required. Try a simple query like “Nvidia earnings” or a long-form prompt to see what Tako returns.
