Perplexity Search is an API for structured, AI-optimized web search that gives developers direct access to Perplexity's search and retrieval infrastructure. The API delivers finely granulated, pre-ranked text snippets by relevance instead of entire documents and covers an index of several hundred billion web pages. It was released on September 25, 2025, and achieved top rankings on the new "Artificial Analysis Search Index" across all three context size variants (low, medium, high). Pricing is based on a pure per-request fee with no Token costs.
