Endpoints

OperationMethod & pathEffectLatencyRateCost
EXA_ANSWER
Generates a direct, citation-backed answer to a clear natural language question or topic using Exa's search, adept at both specific answers and detailed summaries for open-ended queries. Response contains an `answer` field (summary) and a `citations` field (supporting URLs). Citations may include low-credibility sources; verify authoritative references for factual use.

EXA_CREATE_AGENT_RUN
Start an asynchronous Exa Agent run for multi-step web research or enrichment. Save the returned ID and poll Get Agent Run until the run reaches a terminal status.

EXA_CREATE_IMPORT

EXA_CREATE_RESEARCH
Creates an asynchronous research task that explores the web, gathers sources, synthesizes findings, and returns results with citations. The API responds immediately with a researchId for polling completion status. Use this when you need to generate: 1. Structured JSON matching an outputSchema you provide 2. A detailed markdown report when no schema is provided After creation, poll the research task status using the researchId to retrieve the final results when completed.

EXA_FIND_SIMILAR
DEPRECATED: /findSimilar is a legacy endpoint and is no longer recommended for new integrations. Migrate to EXA_SEARCH with type='deep-lite' or 'deep' passing a URL-shaped query, optionally with the nested `contents` object for enrichment. Existing calls continue to work for now. Finds web pages semantically similar to a given URL using embeddings-based search, optionally retrieving full text, highlights, or summaries for results.
GET /composio/exa/exa_find_similarnone——managed
EXA_GET_AGENT_RUN
Retrieve an Agent run to inspect its status, output, citations, usage, or cost.
GET /composio/exa/exa_get_agent_runnone——managed
EXA_GET_API_KEY
Tool to retrieve details of a specific API key by its ID. Use when you need to fetch information about an API key in the team management context.
GET /composio/exa/exa_get_api_keynone——managed
EXA_GET_CONTENTS_ACTION
Retrieve text / highlights / summary / subpages from URLs. The endpoint returns HTTP 200 even when individual URLs fail — always inspect `statuses[]` for CRAWL_NOT_FOUND, CRAWL_LIVECRAWL_TIMEOUT, SOURCE_NOT_AVAILABLE. Control freshness with `maxAgeHours` (0 = always livecrawl, -1 = cache only). Use `subpages` + `subpageTarget` to crawl linked pages within a site in one request.
