Built a bot that uses You.com's search API to monitor for new Critical CVEs and posts them to a Slack channel. It works, but the process highlighted some real issues.
You.com's API pricing is opaque. They advertise "developer-friendly" but the rate limits are strict and the jump to a paid tier is steep for a simple polling script. The search itself is fast, but I'm not convinced it's better than a tuned RSS feed from NVD. You're paying for convenience, but also for lock-in. If they change their pricing or API structure, my bot breaks and I'm back to square one.
