Adding Medical Sources

Pre-flight checklist

  • This is a Perplexity API feature request, not a Perplexity app, Comet, or web UI request.
  • I have checked whether this already exists in the docs or another forum topic.
  • I have described the developer workflow or API use case this would improve.

Feature type

  • New endpoint or API capability
  • New model, preset, or model behavior
  • New parameter or request option
  • New response field or metadata
  • SDK improvement
  • Dashboard, API key, or auth improvement
  • Billing, credits, rate limit, or usage reporting improvement
  • Docs or examples improvement
  • Other API improvement

Affected API area

  • Agent API
  • Search API
  • Sonar API
  • Embeddings API
  • SDKs
  • Dashboard, API keys, or auth
  • Billing or credits
  • Not sure

Summary

Problem

Proposed API behavior

With the new Perplexity Health feature, it might be wise to add 23 & Me, or other DNA partners for expounding on patient history. Leonade Health integrates with 23 & Me, so that would be another excellent partnership.
