LlamaIndex Tools Integration: Exa

This tool connects to Exa, one of the best web search APIs for AI, to easily enable your agent to search and get HTML content from the Internet.

To begin, you need to obtain an API key on the Exa developer dashboard.

Usage

This tool has more a extensive example usage documented in a Jupyter notebook here

Here's an example usage of the ExaToolSpec.

# %pip install llama-index llama-index-core llama-index-tools-exa

from llama_index.tools.exa import ExaToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

exa_tool = ExaToolSpec(
    api_key=os.environ["EXA_API_KEY"],
)
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=exa_tool.to_tool_list(),
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4.1"),
)

print(
    await agent.run(
        "Can you summarize the news published in the last month on superconductors"
    )
)

search: Search the web using Exa for a list of articles relating to a natural language query

retrieve_documents: Retrieve a list of documents returned from exa_search.

search_and_retrieve_highlights: Search and retrieve query-relevant highlights from results.

search_and_retrieve_documents: Combines search and retrieve_documents to directly return a list of documents related to a search

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data as a Tool in a Agent.
