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 "" --count 5

Include page text in results (costs more):

- node {baseDir}/scripts/exa_search.mjs "" --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.
