# POST /findSimilar is deprecated

Exa API deprecated POST /findSimilar without giving a shutdown date yet.

The provider deprecated POST /findSimilar without announcing a shutdown date. Calls to this endpoint will eventually fail. The route previously allowed callers to find links similar to a provided URL and retrieve their contents.

## What to use instead

Call POST /search with a query describing the source.
