:bug: Describe the Bug

So around 6-8 hours ago I was still able to retrieve search results when using search_domain_filter=[``sec.gov``]. However, I recently tested out the API and found empty results. This has been going on for about 3 hours. Any help would be appreciated!

:white_check_mark: Expected Behavior

Found search results.

:cross_mark: Actual Behavior

No search results found.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Steps to Reproduce

Run the following code with Perplexity’s Python SDK

from perplexity import Perplexity

client = Perplexity(api_key=os.getenv("PPLX_API_KEY"))

search = client.search.create(
    query="Tesla 2024 10K",
    search_domain_filter=[
        "sec.gov"
    ],
    max_results=10,
    max_tokens_per_page=1024
)

if not search.results:
    print("No results found")
else:
    for result in search.results:
        print(f"{result.title}: {result.url}")

Just tested it now, it has gone back to normal.

If possible I still would like to know what caused it. Thank you.
