Modes

Mode	How it works	Auth
`web` (default)	Real Chrome (`puppeteer-real-browser`) + Perplexity public SSE ask	No key. Optional `cookies` if anonymous hits a signup wall.
`api`	Official Perplexity Sonar Chat Completions API	Requires `apiKey`

Note: Perplexity increasingly shows “Sign up and repeat your request” for anonymous traffic. For reliable web-mode runs, pass logged-in cookies and/or a residential proxy. Or switch to mode: "api".

Failed queries are written to a separate errors dataset so the main dataset stays clean.

queries	string	Yes	One query per line
mode	string	No	`web` or `api` (default `web`)
apiKey	string	For api	Perplexity API key
cookies	string	No	Cookie header from logged-in perplexity.ai
perplexitySearch.searchRecency	string	No	`day` / `week` / `month` / `year`
perplexitySearch.returnImages	boolean	No	Include images
perplexitySearch.returnRelatedQuestions	boolean	No	Include follow-ups
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings
