Exa Search runs in the EU on api.eu.exa.ai, with EU-only API keys (November 13, 2026)
Exa adds an EU endpoint for Search and Contents. EU keys work only there, and only the auto and lite search types are served.

What changed
November 13, 2026: Exa Search is now available in the European Union, on its own endpoint: https://api.eu.exa.ai.
- Access: EU access comes with a new EU team, set up by your Exa rep. You get it through Exa sales, not in the dashboard.
- Keys: an EU team's API key works only on the EU endpoint and is refused everywhere else. Your existing key does not work there, and the EU key does not work on the default endpoint.
- Region is fixed: a team's region is set when the team is created and doesn't change.
- What it serves today: the Search and Contents endpoints, with the
autoandlitesearch types only. Exa says more search types are coming, and that Agents, Websets and Monitors will follow, with no dates.
Prerequisites
- An EU team from Exa sales, and its API key in
EXA_API_KEY - The Exa Python SDK (
exa_py) or any client that lets you set the base URL
Steps
- Ask Exa sales for an EU team: https://exa.ai/contact/sales
- Point your client at the EU endpoint. Exa's Python example:
from exa_py import Exa
exa = Exa(api_key="YOUR_EU_KEY", base_url="https://api.eu.exa.ai")
results = exa.search("EU AI Act obligations for model providers", type="auto")
