About Exa

Exa is a commercial search API designed for AI applications. Instead of matching only keywords, it retrieves pages by meaning, and it returns results as links with content, direct answers or structured outputs that agents and LLM-based apps can use as context.

The product line includes a Search API, a Contents API for fetching page content, an Agent API, a Monitors API, integrations and Exa Connect, plus Websets and an MCP server. Searches can be tuned across speed tiers from fast to deep and can be restricted to categories such as news, companies, research, people and financials. An API playground and demos are provided on the site. Exa is proprietary and vendor-hosted. The API can be tried for free, and the vendor publishes a pricing page, documentation, benchmarks, a trust center and an enterprise offering.
