Exa alternative API for EU law and company data

Search APIs for agents that need Europe: EU law article by article, and companies in official registers. Exa-compatible endpoints, our own EU-hosted indexes, pay per call or by plan.

EU law: the exact article, not a page about it. Right article in the top 5 for 19 of 20 questions, Exa's web search 13 (14 Nov 2026, method published)
Companies from official registers (France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czechia, Estonia) plus GLEIF LEIs for every country, with register links
Exa's own SDKs work: point exa-js or exa-py at our /v1 base URL
The EU law database is hosted in Cloudflare's EU jurisdiction; uploaded files are never stored

A plan adds its credits each month when the payment succeeds; unused credits stay, and you can cancel at any time. Packs never expire. After paying you get your key on the next page. The same key works on every tool in the catalog. Details: credits and plans.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`q` (required)	string	Company name, with or without the legal form (AB, Oy, SA, GmbH…)
`country`	string	Only these countries: ISO codes or names, comma-separated (FR, SE, NO, FI, CZ, EE search their registers; any other country searches GLEIF). Default: all
`limit`	integer	Results (1-20, default 10)

What it does not do

Not a general web index: for open-web search and news, a general search engine stays the better tool.
Register facts and law text only: no credit scores, no people data, not legal advice.

Questions

Why use this instead of Exa?

When the question is about Europe. Exa crawls the web and processes requests in the US; its company data comes from web pages and its legal sources are US. Here, law comes from the EU's own consolidated texts and companies from the official registers, searched from the EU.

Do I need to rewrite my Exa code?

No. Exa's SDKs accept a base URL: new Exa(apiKey, "https://tools.funwords.eu/v1"). Search, contents, findSimilar and answer work; searches restricted to eur-lex.europa.eu, or with category "law", are answered from the EU law index.

How do I pay?

With an API key from a monthly plan or a one-off pack; AI agents with a wallet can also pay per call with no account (see For AI agents below).

Is there a subscription?

There is a monthly plan and there are one-off credit packs. Both give one API key; a plan adds credits each month and unused credits stay.

For AI agents

The same tool is on the MCP server https://tools.funwords.eu/mcp (the first 25 successful calls are free), and an agent with a wallet can pay per call in USDC: the tool URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms. Reference: tool page · OpenAPI · docs for agents.
