FAQPage Schema

How do I extract readable content from web search results instead of just getting links?▼

Web search with content extraction retrieves search results and immediately extracts readable highlights, text, or summaries alongside the links, reducing time spent manually opening and browsing pages.

Can I find similar web pages by providing a specific URL?▼

Yes, find-similar by URL is a supported discovery mode. You provide a target URL, and the search mechanism returns related web pages with extracted content and usable excerpts for your research.

Do I need an API key to perform web search and content extraction?▼

Yes, an EXA_API_KEY is required. The search and content extraction process resolves and executes a dedicated helper script, using this key to authenticate and retrieve broad web search results.

How does web search handle research papers and can it ingest them into a wiki?▼

Research-paper enrichment is an optional feature. When configured and you search for research papers, the system can ingest results into a research wiki if the needed helper module exists.

What is the best way to retrieve content from known URLs without manual browsing?▼

Content retrieval for known URLs is a supported discovery mode. You provide the URLs, and the system directly extracts readable content and summaries, bypassing the need for manual page visits.

Are there limitations when extracting summaries from broad web search results?▼

Limitations depend on the EXA_API_KEY configuration and helper availability. If the optional research wiki helper is not configured, research paper ingestion will not function, though standard content extraction remains available.
