Common questions

How many area profiles does Exa have?

About 38K profiles of countries, states, provinces and counties.

What's on a profile?

The area's country and state, its population, households and land area, an overview, and one year-by-year table per topic, from demographics and economy to energy and governance, with the sources behind each figure.

Are US counties included?

Yes. Profiles cover US states and counties as well as countries and their states and provinces.

Is there a country data API?

Yes. Area profiles are searchable through the same Exa /search endpoint and API key you use for web search, so there's no separate API to set up.

How do I search only area profiles?

Pass includeDomains: ["exa.ai/library/geoarea"] to the /search endpoint.
