Explore Triggers and Actions

Batch Search Monitors

Delete, pause, or unpause one batch of matching Search API monitors, not Websets monitors. Defaults to dry_run=true: previews matches without changes. Set dry_run=false explicitly to apply the action; deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. When has_more is true, repeat the request until has_more is false to process all matches. Dry-run previews do not consume matches, so repeating a preview does not advance the batch. Does not automatically process further batches.

ActionTry it

Cancel Agent Run

Cancel a queued or running Agent run immediately without returning results. Usage accrued before cancellation is still billed. If the run is already terminal, Exa returns the existing run unchanged.

ActionTry it

Cancel Webset

Cancel all operations on a Webset, stopping searches and enrichments. The Webset is marked idle; this does not delete the Webset.

ActionTry it

Cancel Webset Enrichment

Cancel a running Webset enrichment and return its updated state. All running work for the specified enrichment is canceled. A canceled enrichment cannot be resumed.

ActionTry it

Cancel Webset Search

Cancel a running search in a Webset and return its updated state. Cancels only the specified search, not all searches in the Webset.

ActionTry it

Create a Monitor

Tool to create a new Monitor. Use when you need to schedule automated updates for a Webset without manual runs.

ActionTry it

Create API Key

Create an API key for the authenticated Exa team. Requires Team Management enabled for the team (contact support@exa.ai) and a service API key, not an ordinary search key. Treat the returned key record as sensitive; never log credentials. Creating keys is not idempotent.

Create Import

Tool to create a new import to upload data into a Webset. Use when you need to initialize an import before uploading the data file.

ActionTry it

Create Search Monitor

Create a Search API monitor that delivers new, deduplicated search results to a webhook. Omit trigger for manual runs only. Save webhookSecret securely: it is returned only at creation. Not a Websets monitor.

ActionTry it

Delete Agent Run

Delete a stored Exa Agent run by ID and return its deletion receipt.

ActionTry it

Delete API Key

Delete an API key belonging to the authenticated team using a Team Management service key. Never delete the key authenticating the current connection. Use only a disposable key for testing; deletion revokes the target key's access.

Find similar (Deprecated)

Find web pages related to a supplied URL using an Exa Search query, with a choice of result count and optional page text or highlights. Search ranking differs from the legacy embedding-similarity ranking. DEPRECATED: This action now uses Search instead of the deprecated Find Similar endpoint; prefer EXA_SEARCH for new code.
