FAQPage Schema
How do I get web search results with citations for research reporting?

Semantic ranking evaluates web page content to prioritize relevant, high-quality pages and authoritative sources. This mechanism ensures your market research queries return prioritized results rather than simple keyword matches.

Do I need an API key to fetch current web information using REST endpoints?

Category-scoped retrieval is supported by applying domain and category filtering parameters within your JSON POST request. This allows you to restrict web search results to specific domains for precise market monitoring.

What is the best way to scope web search queries to specific domains?

The Exa API is best suited for market research and domain-specific inquiries requiring up-to-date information with verifiable citations. It is not intended for simple keyword lookups where recency and authoritative sources do not matter.

When should I not use semantic ranking for web search retrieval?

You must authenticate JSON POST requests to the Exa REST endpoints using an Exa API key. This key validates your query parameters before returning prioritized web search results with citations.
