Exa Adds 3.2M Episodes to Search API
Exa now indexes 3.2 million podcast episodes across 119,000 shows, with full speaker-labeled transcripts and timestamps. The dataset is searchable through Exa’s existing API, enabling agents to discover, summarize, and recommend episodes based on what was actually said.
// ANALYSIS
Exa turns podcast discovery from a browsing task into a retrieval problem that agents can handle exceptionally well. The real differentiator is transcript-level search, though coverage, licensing, and transcription accuracy remain important caveats.
- –Full transcripts expose topics, guests, and exact passages that episode titles and descriptions miss.
- –Developers can use the existing `/search` endpoint and API key, with no separate podcast integration.
- –Exa reports 98.4% freshness and 85.0% answer correctness in its own seven-API benchmark.
- –The feature supports personalized recommendations, podcast RAG, executive monitoring, recruiting, and market research.
- –Speaker labels and timestamps make grounded answers and quote extraction substantially more useful.
