Why Exa Connect
- Premium data, no integrations. Reach premium partner data without signing contracts or wiring up an SDK. You call one Exa API.
- Exa handles the plumbing. We manage provider authentication, tool selection, retries, and result ranking. The Exa Agent does the rest.
- Exa Agent picks the right source. When your
outputSchemaasks for “monthly visits from Similarweb” or “verified officers,” the Exa Agent calls the matching partner tool instead of guessing from a web page. - Web + partners in one run. Connect doesn’t replace Exa web search; it composes with it. The Exa Agent uses each source where it’s strongest and cites everything.
How it works
- Attach one or more providers via the
dataSourcesarray onPOST /agent/runs. - The Exa Agent selects the right tool for each step based on your query and
outputSchema: partner data or Exa web search. - Partner results are fused with web research into your structured output, with sources attached.
Pricing
Exa Connect pricing is additive with standard Agent run pricing.
