API Reference
Answer
Get an LLM answer to a question informed by Exa search results. /answer
performs an Exa search and uses an LLM to generate either:
- A direct answer for specific queries. (i.e. “What is the capital of France?” would return “Paris”)
- A detailed summary with citations for open-ended queries (i.e. “What is the state of ai in healthcare?” would return a summary with citations to relevant sources)
The response includes both the generated answer and the sources used to create it. The endpoint also supports streaming (as stream=True
), which will returns tokens as they are generated.
Alternatively, you can use the OpenAI compatible chat completions interface.
