Introduction
# 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.
