ExaSearchTool Documentation
Description
This tool lets CrewAI agents search the web using Exa, the fastest and most accurate web search API. By default the tool returns token-efficient highlights of the most relevant results for any query; you can also opt in to full page content.
Installation
To incorporate this tool into your project, follow the installation instructions below:
uv add crewai[tools] exa_py
Example
The following example demonstrates how to initialize the tool and run a search:
from crewai_tools import ExaSearchTool
# Default: results with token-efficient highlights
tool = ExaSearchTool(api_key="your_api_key", highlights=True)
Steps to Get Started
To effectively use the ExaSearchTool, follow these steps:
- Package Installation: Confirm that the
crewai[tools]package is installed in your Python environment. - API Key Acquisition: Get an Exa API key from the Exa dashboard.
- Environment Configuration: Store your API key in an environment variable named
EXA_API_KEYso the tool can pick it up automatically.
For details on choosing between highlights and full content, see the Exa search best practices.
