Url	`url`	`string`	"Crawl date" refers to the date that Metaphor discovered a link, which is more granular and can be more useful than published date. If endCrawlDate is specified, results will only include links that were crawled before endCrawlDate. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ)
Number Of Results	`numResults`	`integer`	Number of search results to return. Default 10. Up to 30 for basic plans. Up to thousands for custom plans.
Include Domains	`includeDomains`	`string[]`	List of domains to include in the search. If specified, results will only come from these domains. Only one of includeDomains and excludeDomains should be specified.
Exclude Domains	`excludeDomains`	`string[]`	List of domains to exclude in the search. If specified, results will only come from these domains. Only one of includeDomains and excludeDomains should be specified.
Start Crawl Date	`startCrawlDate`	`string`	"Crawl date" refers to the date that Metaphor discovered a link, which is more granular and can be more useful than published date. If startCrawlDate is specified, results will only include links that were crawled after startCrawlDate. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ)
End Crawl Date	`endCrawlDate`	`string`	"Crawl date" refers to the date that Metaphor discovered a link, which is more granular and can be more useful than published date.

Start Published Date	`startPublishedDate`	`string`	If specified, only links with a published date after startPublishedDate will be returned. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Note that for some links, we have no published date, and these links will be excluded from the results if startPublishedDate is specified.
End Published Date	`endPublishedDate`	`string`	If specified, only links with a published date before endPublishedDate will be returned. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).

Actions#

Get Contents of Documents with the Exa (Formerly Metaphor) API

Retrieve contents of documents based on a list of document IDs. See the documentation. It is used to instantly get content for documents, given the IDs of the documents. We currently support extracts - the first 1000 tokens (~750 words) of parsed HTML for a site. Note that each piece of content retrieved costs 1 request. Also note that instant is a little bit of a lie if you are using keyword search, in which case contents might take a few seconds to retrieve.
