Introduction

The Perplexity Search API can be the web search provider for chat. Unlike other providers, it returns excerpts of the result pages with the results, so when the model needs page details, no extra pages have to be opened.
This page is about web search. To chat with Perplexity’s models, add Perplexity as a custom LLM server.

​
