Description
Exa API integration with managed API key authentication. Perform neural web search, retrieve page contents, find similar pages, get AI-generated answers, and run async research tasks. Use this skill when users want to search the web, extract content from URLs, find similar websites, get research answers with citations, or run deep research tasks. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn an Exa connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs an Exa action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with Exa examples; they add no Exa capability - Exa is not an event source, a trigger cannot read Exa data, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
