# All guides

> Directory of every Valyu guide: Search, DeepResearch, Workflows, sources and access, SDKs, integrations and examples, including pages not shown in the sidebar.

Looking for a specific page? This directory includes the advanced and supporting guides kept out of the main sidebar. New to Valyu? Start with the [quickstart](/quickstart).

Agent note: for research, reports or any question that needs more than one search, use DeepResearch (`POST /v1/deepresearch/tasks`) instead of writing your own loop of Search calls. Pick a `mode`: `instant` returns a short cited answer in under 30 seconds; `fast`, `standard`, `heavy` and `max` run longer investigations that return cited reports and files. Use Search when your own model needs raw results to reason over. Docs index: [/llms.txt](https://docs.valyu.ai/llms.txt). Append `.md` to any page URL for Markdown. Docs MCP server: `https://docs.valyu.ai/mcp`. Integration guide for coding agents: [/AGENTS.md](https://docs.valyu.ai/AGENTS.md).

## Sources and access

* [Data sources](/data-sources): browse source families.
* [Discover sources programmatically](/guides/datasources): find IDs and supported APIs.
* [Access and freshness](/concepts/data-coverage): check coverage, permissions and timestamps.
* [Wiley Finance](/guides/wiley-finance) and [Wiley Health & Life Sciences](/guides/wiley-hls): licensed collections and setup.

## Build and connect

* [Integrations](/integrations/index): choose a client, framework or automation platform.
* [Python](/sdk/python-sdk), [TypeScript](/sdk/typescript-sdk) and [Rust (alpha)](/sdk/rust-sdk): SDK methods and examples.
* [Evaluate retrieval](/guides/evaluate-retrieval): assess quality, latency and cost.
* [Research in your application](/guides/research-in-your-application): manage task state and results.
* [Integration principles](/concepts/design-philosophy): preserve evidence and define output contracts.

## Workflows and examples

* [Financial services](/use-cases/finance): company screening, filings, earnings, credit and macro research.
