exa
Exa API integration with managed API key authentication. Perform neural web search, retrieve page contents, find similar pages, get AI-generated answers, and run async research tasks. Use this skill when users want to search the web, extract content from URLs, find similar websites, get research answers with citations, or run deep research tasks. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/exa-apiWhat This Skill Does
The Exa skill provides a seamless integration with the Exa neural search engine via the Maton gateway. It empowers your AI agents to perform sophisticated web searches, extract granular content from specific URLs, identify websites with similar thematic characteristics, and generate AI-powered answers complete with verifiable citations. By utilizing a managed API key architecture, the skill offloads the complexities of authentication and proxy routing to the Maton infrastructure. This allows developers and end-users to interact with the powerful Exa API ecosystem without manual header management or local key exposure, ensuring a secure and streamlined research workflow directly within your AI agent environment.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your agent, use the OpenClaw package manager:
- Open your terminal or agent interface.
- Execute:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/exa-api. - Configure your environment variable by exporting
MATON_API_KEYwith your valid credential. - Ensure network access is permitted, as the skill proxies requests through the Maton gateway at
https://gateway.maton.ai/exa/.
Use Cases
- Market Intelligence: Quickly gather and summarize industry-specific data or competitor information using neural search.
- Content Aggregation: Programmatically retrieve cleaned HTML or text content from long-form articles or technical documentation for RAG applications.
- Discovery: Find "seed" websites and generate lists of relevant, similar pages to broaden your research scope.
- Automated Research: Execute asynchronous deep-research tasks that compile information from multiple sources into a synthesized report.
Example Prompts
- "Perform a deep research search on the current state of quantum computing in pharmaceutical drug discovery and provide a summary with citations."
- "Extract the full content from this URL: [insert link] and convert it into a bulleted summary of key findings."
- "Search for websites similar to [insert URL] that provide high-quality documentation on TypeScript best practices."
Tips & Limitations
- Always verify that your
MATON_API_KEYhas active status via thehttps://ctrl.maton.aidashboard before running intensive tasks. - The tool is designed specifically for Exa API endpoints; do not attempt to use it for generic third-party web scraping. For other external apps, utilize the designated
api-gatewayskill. - Be mindful of your Exa API credit limits to avoid unexpected request failures during large research jobs.
