Exa / find similar pages

Exa tool exa-find-similar on looot: input fields, $0.007 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Finds pages similar to a given URL. Send url; numResults, includeDomains and excludeDomains narrow it. Exa marks this call as deprecated and recommends exa-search with a query that describes the page instead.

Tool id: exa-find-similar
Provider: Exa
Job: Similar web (web.similar)
Price: $0.007 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`contents`	object	no	Content options for the returned results, same shape as /search’s contents.
`excludeDomains`	array	no	Never these hostnames/domain paths.
`includeDomains`	array	no	Only these hostnames/domain paths.
`numResults`	integer	no	Results to return.
`url`	string	yes	The URL to find similar pages for. Example: “https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.06435”

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 1 real answer:

{ results: { id, url, score, title, author }[], requestId, searchTime, costDollars: { total, search: { neural } } }

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"exa-find-similar","input":{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.06435"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "exa-find-similar",
    input: {
      url: "https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.06435",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "exa-find-similar",
        "input": {

run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
