Exa + OpenAI

Build agents on OpenAI with direct access to the web.

Overview

Combine OpenAI's GPT models with Exa's search API. Use Exa as a tool via OpenAI tool calling, drop in Exa's OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions and /responses endpoints with the standard OpenAI SDK, or run direct research with exa-research models — all without changing your existing OpenAI code.

Whether you're building a simple search tool or a complex multi-step agent, the Exa + OpenAI integration gives you access to real-time web data with minimal setup. Get started in minutes with our documentation and example notebooks.
