There are no think results for `sonar-pro`, the model has only one search query. To show thinking steps please consider using one of our reasoning models or `sonar-deep-research`.

since it’s a post query, where should stream=true be set? should it be in the URL parameter or in headers or as part of post body - if so, what’s the syntax
