Python SDK for Exa API.

Project description

Exa

Exa (formerly Metaphor) API in Python

Note: This API is basically the same as metaphor-python but reflects new features associated with Metaphor's rename to Exa. New site is https://exa.ai

Installation

pip install exa_py

Usage

Import the package and initialize the Exa client with your API key:

from exa_py import Exa

exa = Exa(api_key="your-api-key")
