Access
- Runs on looot’s key for 18 endpoints: nothing to set up, the run spends your looot balance. You can connect your own key instead; see Bring your own key.
Price basis
4 per call (from $0.005), 1 per result (from $0.001). A call that fails at the provider costs $0; see What’s free.
Free first in fallback
Partly. 1 endpoint bill per result, so a miss costs nothing and fallback can move them ahead of flat-priced rows. See Free first.
Run it
A job run takes shared input names, not Exa’s own field names; looot maps them for each provider. For job:web.article.extract, url is taken by 3 of its 3 providers. See Job inputs.
Example input for looot run or the MCP run tool, with placeholder values:
looot run job:web.article.extract --input '{"url":"https://example.com"}'{
"endpointId": "job:web.article.extract",
"input": {
"url": "https://example.com"
},
"idempotencyKey": "<new unique key>"
}A job run picks among all the job’s providers. To run Exa itself, name one of its endpoints (MCP search with {"filters": {"provider": "exa"}} lists them), for example exa-contents: looot inspect exa-contents prints its exact input fields and price.
