Exa Search

Use Exa’s Search API via the bundled script.

Requirements

• Set EXA_API_KEY in the Gateway environment (recommended) or in ~/.openclaw/.env.

Commands

• Run a search:

  • node {baseDir}/scripts/exa_search.mjs "<query>" --count 5

• Include page text in results (costs more):

  • node {baseDir}/scripts/exa_search.mjs "<query>" --count 5 --text

• Narrow by time window:

  • --start 2025-01-01 --end 2026-02-04

Notes

• This skill does not modify web_search; it provides an Exa-backed alternative you can invoke when you specifically want Exa.
