What Exa is

Exa is a search API built for applications rather than people. Alongside search it exposes endpoints for page contents, generated answers, structured result sets and scraping, aimed at developers who need live web information inside agents and products.

What you can do with it

  • Run searches and receive structured results
  • Retrieve page contents programmatically
  • Generate answers grounded in retrieved sources
  • Assemble structured sets of web results
  • Automate research workflows

Who it is for

  • Developers building research products
  • Teams grounding model answers in live sources
  • Agent applications needing web access

What to watch out for

  • Generated answers still need source checking before publication
  • Scraping and content retrieval inherit each site's terms and copyright constraints
  • Cost scales with query volume, so model usage before committing
  • Retrieval quality varies by topic, especially for niche or non-English sources

Pros & cons
