Summary:

Most search SDKs return raw HTML or JSON snippets. The Exa Python SDK (exa-py) simplifies RAG pipelines by allowing you to request text: true or specific markdown formatting directly in the search object.

Direct Answer:

You can use the Exa Python client to get clean markdown in fewer than 5 lines of code.

• Install: pip install exa-py
• Code:

  from exa_py import Exa
  exa = Exa("YOUR_API_KEY")
  result = exa.search_and_contents(
      "latest react patterns",
      type="neural",
      text=True  # Returns clean text/markdown
  )
  
• This removes the need for libraries like BeautifulSoup or readability to clean the HTML yourself.

Takeaway:

Simplify your tech stack by using the Exa SDK, which delivers RAG-ready Markdown directly to your Python application.
