Scrapes image results from Perplexity's image search. Extracts the canonical image schema: title, alt text, full image URL, thumbnail, dimensions, aspect ratio, format, source attribution, license, and citation context.
What this Actor collects
The Actor converts image results and media metadata into clean JSON records that can be downloaded, queried through the Apify API, or sent to downstream workflows.
- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 58-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.
Use cases
- Visual research
- Image-source discovery
- Media and asset enrichment
Input
Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
query | string | Yes | "northern lights photography" | The image search query. Perplexity returns one set of images per query. |
maxItems | integer | No | 50 | Maximum number of images to scrape. |
maxRequestRetries | integer | No | 2 | Number of bounded retries when Perplexity does not render image results or a temporary scrape error occurs. |
queries | array | No | [] | Optional array of additional image search queries. |
focusMode | string | No | "images" | Perplexity's focus mode (search scope). 'images' targets image search specifically; 'web' may also include inline answer images. |
includeInlineAnswerImages | boolean | No | true | When true, also captures images that appear inline within an AI answer (not just the image grid). Requires focus mode to be 'web' or 'academic'. |
language | string | No | "en-US" | Language code for the answer locale (e.g. 'en-US', 'en-GB', 'de-DE', 'fr-FR'). |
proxyConfiguration | object | No | {"useApifyProxy":true} | Proxy settings. Residential proxies are strongly recommended — Perplexity aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. |
Example input
{"query": "Eiffel Tower Paris photos","maxItems": 50,"language": "en-US","proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": false},"maxRequestRetries": 2,"focusMode": "images","includeInlineAnswerImages": true}
Output
The default dataset contains one item per image result. The following are the most useful fields; availability can vary between image-grid and inline-answer sources.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
position | integer | Position |
title | string | Title |
imageUrl | string | Image URL |
thumbnailUrl | string | Thumbnail URL |
sourceDomain | string | Source Domain |
creator | string | Creator |
license | string | License |
width | integer | Width |
height | integer | Height |
fileFormat | string | File Format |

query | string | Query |
scrapedAt | string | Scraped At |
type | string | Type |
url | string | URL |
Example dataset item
No static output record is embedded because the current local storage has no trustworthy item. Run the Actor with the example input to create source-backed output; the Actor does not fabricate a sample record.
