Date: October 28, 2025 We’re releasing a major version update to our SDKs along with changes to API responses. This update makes content retrieval more convenient while removing deprecated features.

​
1. Contents Included by Default in SDKs

Search operations in the SDKs now include page contents by default, eliminating the need for a separate contents call in most workflows. You can opt out if you need faster searches without content.

​
2. Highlights Feature Removed from SDKs

The highlights feature has been completely removed from all SDKs. This feature was previously deprecated and is no longer available in the SDK packages.
Update (November 2025): Highlights have been reintroduced in the JavaScript SDK as of exa-js v2.0.11. See JS SDK: highlights restored for details.
Migration Options:
  • Option 1: Do not upgrade to the new major version if you still need highlights
  • Option 2: Use the API directly to access highlights functionality
  • Option 3: Use “AI Summary” to get the main summary of “text”

​
3. use_autoprompt Deprecated in All API Responses

The use_autoprompt field has been deprecated and removed from all API responses across the entire platform. This field is no longer needed with current search improvements.
