What it does

For each query you provide, the actor:

obtains a short-lived anonymous bearer token from Perplexity's attestation endpoint,
streams the answer from POST /rest/sse/perplexity_ask, and
pushes one dataset row with the answer and its citations.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
`queries`	string list	One or more questions. Each produces one row.
`sources`	multi-select	Corpora to search: `web`, `scholar`, `social`, `video`, `image`. Default `[web]`.
`maxSources`	integer	Cap citations kept per answer. `0` = all.
`language`	string	Answer language (BCP-47), e.g. `en`, `lt`.
`timezone`	string	IANA timezone for time-relative answers.
`proxyConfiguration`	proxy	Residential proxy required (see below). Defaults to Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL.

Example input

{
  "queries": [
    "What is the capital of Lithuania?",
    "Who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup?"
  ],
  "sources": ["web"],
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Output

Each dataset row:

{
  "query": "What is the capital of Lithuania?",
  "answer": "The capital of Lithuania is **Vilnius**. ...",
  "source_count": 10,
  "sources": [
    { "name": "Vilnius - Wikipedia", "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius", "snippet": "..." }
  ],
  "mode": "concise",
  "backend_uuid": "…"
}

If a single query fails, its row carries an error field and the batch continues.

Why a residential proxy is required

Perplexity's answer endpoint stalls requests coming from datacenter IP ranges. The actor therefore routes every request through a residential proxy and draws a fresh exit IP per query. The input defaults to Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group; a datacenter proxy or no proxy will hang.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per answer (one charge per query answered). Citations are included in that charge.

Notes & limitations

Guest tier: answers come from Perplexity's default model for anonymous clients; account-only features (custom models, Pro search history, file upload) are out of scope.
The attestation step uses the app's own flow; Perplexity's server does not enforce a real Play Integrity check on the guest tier, which is why no device or Google account is needed.
This is an unofficial client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Perplexity AI.
