Exa Search

x402 APIPassing, checked 1 h ago

Exa's neural web search, resold per call — no Exa account, no subscription, one USDC micro-payment. Pass query= and get ranked results: title, URL, publish date, author, relevance score. numResults=1..10 (default 5). type=auto|fast|instant. includeDomains= restricts the search. Add text=1 for matched highlights from each page (caps results at 5, priced $0.03; the 402 challenge quotes it). For agents that need what the web says today, not what a training cutoff remembers.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://402.com.tr/api/x402/exa-search?includeDomains=arxiv.org%2C+github.com&numResults=5&query=best+open-source+vector+databases+2026&text=false&type=auto'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://402.com.tr/api/x402/exa-search?includeDomains=arxiv.org%2C+github.com&numResults=5&query=best+open-source+vector+databases+2026&text=false&type=auto' \
