About

Perplexity has launched the Perplexity Search API, giving developers access to the same global-scale indexing and retrieval infrastructure that powers Perplexity’s public answer engine. The API indexes hundreds of billions of webpages and is optimized for the unique demands of AI workflows; it breaks documents into fine-grained subunits so that responses return highly relevant snippets already ranked against the original query, reducing preprocessing and improving downstream performance. To maintain freshness, the index processes tens of thousands of updates every second using an AI-driven content understanding module that dynamically parses web content and iteratively self-improves via real-time query feedback. The API returns rich, structured responses suitable for both AI agents and traditional apps, rather than limited, document-level outputs. Alongside the API, Perplexity is releasing an SDK, an open source evaluation framework, and detailed research into their design.

About

String Web Access API is a hosted web-data API for developers and teams building AI agents, research applications, and data workflows. It searches the web, fetches individual URLs, and maps public sites, returning page content as clean text or Markdown. Requests can use browser rendering, proxy routing, and other escalation options to retrieve pages that need JavaScript or are protected by anti-bot systems; compliance-sensitive teams can disable CAPTCHA solving per request. The service is available over HTTP and through an MCP server that works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, and other compatible clients. Developers can use it to provide live web content to AI workflows, research companies and products, collect source material, and discover pages across a site. A free account includes usage credit and monthly plans provide additional usage; request charges vary by operation.

Free accounts include $5 in non-expiring credit, advertised as enough for up to 20,000 standard fetches. Paid plans start at $19/month, with the plan fee added to the usage balance. Rates vary by endpoint and proxy type, and unused monthly credit rolls over. Requests blocked by String or failed on String's side are not charged; responses returned by destination websites can still incur charges.
