It wraps HTTP calls to the Exa service via requests, providing methods for semantic web search, content extraction, question-answering, and agent-based research tasks. You instantiate a client with an API key, then call methods like search(), answer(), get_contents(), or agent.runs.create() to retrieve web data with optional structured output schemas and streaming.\n\nThe package supports multiple search modes, custom output schemas for structured JSON results, system prompts for search refinement, and streaming responses. It also includes beta features for higher-effort research with cost budgets and entity tracking over time. All communication is synchronous by default, with an async variant for async/await workflows. The SDK is actively maintained but remains in Alpha, meaning the API may change.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need web search capabilities in a Python application and have access to an Exa API key. The low install friction, active maintenance, and permissive license make it straightforward to integrate. Be aware that the Alpha status means the API may change, and you'll incur costs based on Exa's pricing model. Not suitable if you need offline search or cannot use an external API service."},"id":"metaphor-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/metaphor-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/metaphor-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/metaphor-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"metaphor-python","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python package for the Metaphor API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":146131,"position":11106,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.23"}
