Get Started

Our goal is to help you find anything you want on the web, no matter how complex.

Overview

Welcome to Websets

Welcome to Exa

Make your first request to one of Exa's API endpoints

Quickstart

The search endpoint lets you intelligently search the web and extract contents from the results. 

By default, it automatically chooses between traditional keyword search and Exa's embeddings-based model, to find the most relevant results for your query.

Search

Get the full page contents, summaries, and metadata for a list of URLs.

Returns instant results from our cache, with automatic live crawling as fallback for uncached pages.

Get contents

Find similar links to the link provided and optionally return the contents of the pages.

Find similar links

Get an LLM answer to a question informed by Exa search results. Fully compatable with OpenAI's chat completions endpoint - docs [here](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/chat-completions).

`/answer` performs an Exa search and uses an LLM (GPT-4o-mini) to generate either:
1. A direct answer for specific queries. (i.e. "What is the capital of France?" would return "Paris")
2. 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.
