FAQPage Schema
How do I perform semantic web search and extract full text content from URLs?

Semantic web search and content extraction are performed through the Exa API, which supports retrieving full text, highlights, or summaries from URLs. It enables deep research by filtering search results and synthesizing information directly from web pages.

What is the best way to source and verify large-scale entities from the web?

The best way to source and verify large-scale entities is using the Websets platform. Websets enables asynchronous entity discovery at scale, allowing you to source, verify, and enrich data points through automated multi-step research workflows.

Can I get AI-generated answers with citations directly from web search results?

Yes, you can get AI-generated answers with citations directly from web search results. The capability provides search-grounded answers by synthesizing extracted web content, enabling direct information retrieval without manual reading.

Does this web scraping and research capability work with OpenAI-compatible chat interfaces?

Yes, this web scraping and research capability integrates with OpenAI-compatible chat interfaces. This allows you to leverage deep content extraction, AI answers, and multi-step asynchronous research workflows directly within your existing chat applications.

What are the differences between fast, deep, and semantic search for web research?

Fast search retrieves information quickly, deep search performs comprehensive analysis for thorough research, and semantic search understands contextual meaning. These web search modes allow filtering results to extract relevant content like summaries or full text.

When should I use asynchronous multi-step research workflows instead of standard web search?

Use asynchronous multi-step research workflows instead of standard web search when synthesizing complex topics requiring multiple data points. These workflows handle large-scale entity sourcing and deep content extraction that exceed single-query search limitations.
