}Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
allowSourceExpansion | boolean | No | Deprecated / ignored — Exa is a single index. Use scope for deliberate scoping. |
date_from | string | No | Start date filter (YYYY-MM-DD) |
date_to | string | No | End date filter (YYYY-MM-DD) |
filterReferences | boolean | No | Default true upstream — drop off-topic refs. Set false for raw/unfiltered refs (debug). |
includeRejected | boolean | No | Default false — when true, completed responses include rejectedReferences[] and relevance.reason on rejected refs. |
maxResults | number | No | Max results to return |
mode | string | No | Search depth One of: fast, deep. |
perSourceLimit | number | No | Deprecated / ignored — Exa is a single index (no per-source cap). |
privacyMode | string | No | Optional plaintext privacy mode forwarded to Aubrai when provided. |
question | string | Yes | Research question |
retrievalProfile | string | No | Optional retrieval profile: "default" or "litqa-recall". One of: default, litqa-recall. |
scope | string | No | Opt-in scoping mapped to Exa domains: preprints (biorxiv/medrxiv/arxiv), no-preprints (exclude those), trials (clinicaltrials.gov). Omit for full index. One of: preprints, no-preprints, trials. |
sourceProfile | string | No | Optional source profile. Omit for Aubrai defaults. One of: fast-default, deep-default, clinical, paperclip, litqa-recall. |
sources | array of string | No | Deprecated / ignored — retrieval is one Exa index (already covers pubmed/arxiv/biorxiv/etc.). Use scope instead. |
tagMode | string | No | Use fanout for independent tracked-term searches; use combined only when tags must be searched together. One of: fanout, combined. |
tags | array of string | No | Tracked terms for radar-style searches. With tagMode=fanout, each tag is searched separately. |
year | string | No | Filter by publication year |
