How this service works

Retrieve page contents by URL or document ID

Output

Returns the full text and content of each requested URL, including the page body and article text. The response may be truncated for very large pages.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Can you fetch the full page contents of these two URLs for me: https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence and https://www.bbc.com/news/technology ?”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://api.exa.ai/contents?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you already have specific URLs and need their full text content — not when you need to search for pages. Prefer this over a general search endpoint when the user provides direct links and wants the page body extracted. Use instead of Answer when you need raw content rather than an AI-synthesized response.

Side effects

URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — content may be empty or missing
Page is paywalled or requires authentication — content may be partial or blocked
Very large pages may be truncated in the response
Invalid or malformed URLs in the input list may produce errors
Dynamic JavaScript-rendered content may not be fully captured

Input

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence",
    "https://www.example.com/"
  ]
}

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
ids	array	Document IDs obtained from searches.
text	—
urls	array	URLs to crawl (backwards compatible with the `ids` parameter).
extras	—
context	—
summary	—
subpages	—
livecrawl	—
compliance	—
highlights	—
maxAgeHours	—
snapshotAsOf	—
subpageTarget	—
userIdentifier	—	An opaque identifier your platform generates for the end user this request is made on behalf of, such as a UUID. Exa records it with the request so that usage and abuse can be attributed to one end user instead of your whole team. It must not be or contain personal information such as an email address, phone number, username, or name; send a hash if that is all you have. 1 to 64 characters: letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens. It is retained under Zero Data Retention and does not change results.
livecrawlTimeout	—
crawledBeforeDate	—	Deprecated. Use `snapshotAsOf` instead. Alias of snapshotAsOf with identical behavior.

Output

{
  "_truncated": true,
  "_originalSize": 127904
}

Schema · Response

Field	Type	Description
context	string	Deprecated. Use `results[].highlights` or `results[].text` instead. Combined context string from search results.
results	array
statuses	array	Status information for each requested URL or document ID.
requestId	string	Unique identifier for the request.
searchTime	number	Server-side processing time in milliseconds, measured at the gateway. Covers retrieval but may exclude later phases such as structured output synthesis, so it can be lower than end-to-end request latency.
costDollars	object	Endpoint-dependent estimated dollar cost breakdown for the completed request. Billing is computed from usage counters rather than this response object.

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
