What is Exa Websets?

Exa Websets is a data retrieval platform that helps you search across multiple web sources and build datasets without writing code. You can perform searches using different methods (keyword, neural, phrase filtering, and auto) and set your own criteria to filter results. The platform works asynchronously, meaning it can process large search tasks in the background. It's useful if you need to gather data for hiring, finding sales leads, analysing market trends, or conducting research. The free tier gets you started, and there's an API available if you need to integrate searches into your own applications or automate workflows.
