We’ve built a search index of billions of webpages to provide real-time, quality information from the web. Now developers have access to the full power of our index, providing the most accurate results in milliseconds.

The Search API (`POST /search`) returns raw, ranked web results — titles, URLs, snippets, and dates — without LLM processing. Plug these directly into your own models, RAG pipelines, or applications.

```python
from perplexity import Perplexity

client = Perplexity()
search = client.search.create(
    query="latest AI developments",
    max_results=5,
    max_tokens_per_page=2048
)

for result in search.results:
    print(result.title, result.url)

```

### Key features

- **Raw ranked results** — titles, URLs, snippets, dates, and extracted content
- **Domain filtering** — allowlist or denylist specific domains
- **Language filtering** — ISO 639-1 language codes
- **Date filtering** — recency filter or precise date ranges
- **Multi-query** — pass up to 5 queries in a single request
- **$5 per 1,000 requests** — no token-based costs
