A comprehensive guide for deploying Exa-powered search APIs to production environments. This skill covers best practices for integrating Exa into Vercel Edge Functions, Docker containers, and Google Cloud Run. It includes detailed steps for secret management, implementing Redis caching for performance, and setting up health check endpoints, ensuring a robust and scalable production search solution.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for developers to install and set up the Exa SDK (exa-js for Node.js, exa-py for Python). It covers setting up API key authentication using environment variables and demonstrates client initialization for both major languages, enabling developers to utilize Exa's neural search API for web content retrieval.

This guide provides a comprehensive setup for a fast and reproducible local development workflow tailored for Exa API integrations. It covers establishing optimal project structure, implementing detailed unit tests using mock responses, and setting up robust integration tests. Ideal for developers who need to rapidly build, test, and iterate on applications relying on Exa's search and content fetching capabilities.

This guide details how to configure and manage the Exa search API across development, staging, and production environments. It ensures API key isolation, implements environment-specific search limits, and provides strategies for cost control and performance optimization by utilizing caching layers like Redis. Essential for scalable, multi-stage deployments.

This guide provides advanced technical patterns for optimizing Exa API performance in production workloads. It covers critical strategies such as selecting the optimal search type based on latency budgets (e.g., instant vs. neural), implementing robust result caching using LRU, minimizing content retrieval size, and executing parallel queries to maximize throughput. Essential for building reliable, low-latency, and cost-effective search integrations.

A comprehensive guardrail system for external search APIs (like Exa). It enforces content safety policies, manages domain access via allow/blocklists, sanitizes queries to prevent misuse, implements result freshness checks, and enforces per-user usage quotas. Essential for building reliable, secure, and cost-controlled integrations.

A comprehensive guide and implementation pattern for handling external API rate limits (HTTP 429 errors) and service throttling. It demonstrates advanced techniques like exponential backoff with jitter, request queuing using concurrency control, and adaptive rate limiting, ensuring stable and reliable API interaction even under high load or strict usage quotas.

This skill provides robust, production-grade patterns for building fault-tolerant search service integrations, specifically targeting Exa. It covers implementing query fallback chains, circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures, exponential backoff for retries, and graceful degradation levels. Use this when designing mission-critical search features that must remain available and functional even if underlying services fail, rate limit, or suffer performance degradation.

This comprehensive guide details essential security practices for integrating the Exa API. It covers key areas such as secure API key management using environment variables, implementing content moderation to filter unsafe results, restricting results via domain allow/block lists, and sanitizing user queries to prevent injection attacks. Use this when hardening or auditing an Exa-powered application.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured process for safely upgrading the `exa-js` SDK. It covers checking current vs. latest versions, handling potential breaking changes, and validating API compatibility (e.g., search, getContents, findSimilar). Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and reliable migration across different SDK versions.

Build robust, event-driven integrations with Exa using scheduled monitoring and content alerts. This skill allows users to establish competitive intelligence pipelines, track content changes over time, and automate research digests. It supports new article detection, similarity monitoring, and reliable webhook delivery via background queues.
