Exa
Exa provides an AI-powered search API that retrieves web content using neural and keyword search, page content extraction, and answers with citations.
Use the Exa connector to:
- Search the web and return page text, highlights, or summaries.
- Retrieve text, highlights, or summaries for URLs or document IDs.
- Get an answer with cited sources.
- Create, list runs for, and delete monitors that run a search on a schedule.
- Trigger a recipe when a monitor run completes.
You can also use custom actions to build a custom HTTP request to any Exa API endpoint. Refer to the Exa API Reference documentation for endpoint details.
