In short. Tencent Yuanbao Search retrieves public web information and selected Tencent content through an API that excludes WeChat Official Account articles.

Definition: As of 17 October 2026, Tencent Yuanbao Search is Tencent Cloud's search service for retrieving public web information for AI applications. It combines public web resources with selected Tencent ecosystem content and returns ranked search results through an application programming interface (API).

Key facts

Tencent Cloud's product overview connects the service to the Yuanbao app's experience with online search.
The SearchPro reference documents result titles, source URLs, publication dates and summaries.
Tencent Cloud's FAQ excludes WeChat Official Account content because of copyright.

Which sources does it cover?

Tencent Cloud's overview names Tencent News, Sogou Baike and Penguin Accounts among the ecosystem resources incorporated into its index. Its public web coverage therefore sits alongside named Tencent content sources. The same documentation describes retrieval of current information such as policy updates, news and weather.

The coverage FAQ makes the boundary around WeChat explicit: Yuanbao Search currently excludes WeChat Official Account content. For a business publishing both website pages and Official Account articles, these are separate surfaces when assessing this cloud service's coverage. The documentation's reference to Tencent ecosystem content should be read together with that exclusion.

What does the API return?

The SearchPro documentation defines Pages as an array of strings, each containing a search result encoded as JSON. Within a result, url identifies the source and passage contains the standard summary. The site field supplies the website name, although it can be empty for lesser-known sites.

The Mode parameter selects public web results, vertical source results or a mixture. Vertical sources are specialized information sources; the documented Industry categories include government, news, academic and finance. Site can restrict public web results to a domain, while Freshness sets the time range. Domain filtering applies to public web results within a mixed response.

How can a website owner inspect retrieval?

Tencent Cloud's API key guide requires an account with identity verification, service activation and a service key. It documents HTTPS POST requests to api.wsa.cloud.tencent.com/SearchPro, authenticated with a bearer token.

This illustrative JSON body combines the guide's Sanxingdui query with the reference's public web mode and domain filter:

{
  "Query": "三星堆的由来",
  "Mode": 0,
  "Site": "qq.com"
}

For a retrieval check, the returned source URLs and summaries provide concrete material to inspect. The guide's example response includes results from Tencent News and Penguin Accounts alongside NetEase, illustrating the combination of ecosystem content and external websites.

FAQ

Where do you obtain an API key?

The setup guide directs you to the Yuanbao Search console. The key is displayed in plain text only when created, so you need to save it then.
