We’re excited to share two improvements that just went live for the Sonar API!

1. Expanded domain filters

You can now include up to 20 entries in search_domain_filter (previously 10).
This gives you more flexibility when allowlisting or denylisting sources for your queries.

2. Snippets in search_results

Each item in the search_results array now includes a snippet — a short summary/description, similar to what you’d see in a search engine. This helps you quickly evaluate the relevance of results before diving into the full source.

Example

If I were to prompt:

What is Comet by Perplexity?

The response would include search_results like:

"search_results": [
  {
    "title": "Comet: Perplexity's AI browser gets personal - IBM Think",
    "url": "https://www.ibm.com/think/news/comet-perplexity-take-agentic-browser",
    "date": "2025-07-18",
    "last_updated": "2025-07-18",
    "snippet": "With the launch of Comet, Perplexity is tackling a new challenge: reinventing how everyday users interact with the web ..."
