How this service works
Exa Contents - Retrieve content from URLs
Output
Returns an array of results per URL, each containing the extracted text, page title, author (if found), favicon, and any detected entities (companies, organizations, etc.). Also includes per-URL status (cached or live crawled), a request ID, total search time, and a cost breakdown in dollars.
Example use cases
Extract article text for summarization
“Grab the text from this news article — https://www.reuters.com/technology/ai-regulation-2024/ — up to 1500 characters, no HTML, and use the cached version if available, otherwise crawl it live.”
Competitor research from product pages
“Pull the full text content from these three URLs: https://competitor-a.com/pricing, https://competitor-b.com/pricing, and https://competitor-c.com/pricing — standard verbosity, no HTML tags, max 1000 characters each.”
Verify and extract webpage entities
“Fetch the content of https://example-company.com/about and extract any company or organization entities mentioned — standard verbosity, up to 2000 characters, live crawl if the cached page is more than 12 hours old.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stable-enrich-git-fix-stableenrich-exa-leg-547ea8-merit-systems.vercel.app/api/exa/contentsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you already have specific URLs and need to retrieve their text content, as opposed to discovering URLs via search. Ideal when you need structured extraction (title, author, entities) alongside raw text, or when you want control over caching vs. live crawling behavior. Prefer this over a general web scraper when you need entity extraction and cost-efficient caching via Exa's index.
Side effects
- URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — status field shows 'error'
- Live crawl timeout if the page is slow to respond
- Cached content missing and live crawl not enabled — returns empty text
- Max characters too low to capture meaningful content
- Invalid URL format causing a request validation error
- Rate limits or quota exceeded for the underlying Exa service
