Search API gives developers access to the full power of Perplexity’s search index, covering hundreds of billions of webpages.

🔍 **Why it matters**  
LLMs are powerful, but limited by static training data. With Sonar, we solved this by grounding answers in live web content. Now, the **Search API** gives developers those same building blocks - directly.

⚡ **What you get**

- Raw search results & full page text
- Blazing fast + highly accurate (no speed/quality trade-off)
- Fine-grained controls: domain filters, recency filters, academic & finance modes
- Full transparency: URL, snippet, publish date, last updated
- **A [brand new SDK](https://docs.perplexity.ai/guides/perplexity-sdk) to make integration seamless** - prototype in minutes with familiar dev ergonomics

We can’t wait to see what you build.
