About Exa
Exa is a search API built for AI agents and applications that need current web data. It returns results and content through one endpoint, so an agent can look up facts without a separate scraping tool.
What it does
An agent sends a query and gets back relevant pages, news, company or people records, or a generated answer. Exa offers different speed levels, so you can trade off latency against depth. A deeper research mode handles multi-step questions that need several rounds of searching.
Key features
- Search across web, news and companies
- Speed levels from fast to deep
- Structured content output
- Answers as results or summaries
- Playground for testing queries
Who it's for
Developers building AI agents, research tools or data products that need live web information. Teams doing sales or market research may use the company and people search.
Pricing and good to know
You can try the API for free from the site. Check the pricing page for current plans and usage limits before you build on it. Results depend on what the index covers for your topic, so test your queries first.
