Perplexity

Perplexity is an AI search engine. For developers, the Sonar API provides grounded, cited answers for building search-enabled apps.

When to Use

  • Real-time Info: "What is the stock price of Apple?" (LLMs can't answer this without tools).
  • Research Apps: Building an app that needs to cite sources.
  • Citations: You need reliability and links to original data.

Core Concepts

Sonar API

API access to Perplexity's online models (

).

Citations

API returns a list of citations used to generate the answer.

Pro Search

Multi-step reasoning search (Googles multiple times to answer complex queries).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:
  • Use for Grounding: If your chatbot needs current events, route those queries to Perplexity.
  • Use Search Options: Filter by domain (e.g., search only 
    reddit.com
    or 
    stackoverflow.com
    ).
Don't:
  • Don't use for creative writing: It is optimized for facts, not fiction.
