POST /contents → endpoint removal
Exa API
Deprecated, no date
The body parameter numSentences on the POST /contents endpoint has been deprecated without a shutdown date. Calls that continue to rely on this parameter will eventually fail once it is fully removed.
Calls it hits
POST /contentsbody parameter numSentences
What to use instead of these calls
Use highlights.maxCharacters instead.
In Exa API's words
maxCharacters for highlights: now the preferred way to control highlight length. numSentences and highlightsPerUrl are deprecated.
