This workflow executes a single-query search using the Perplexity Sonar model, ensuring all returned answers are web-grounded and accompanied by inline citations. It is essential for building high-trust applications, fact-checking tools, or any system requiring verifiable, real-time information retrieval. The process includes API interaction, detailed response parsing (answer, citations, search results), and formatting the output into a usable, source-linked format.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for deploying applications powered by the Perplexity Sonar API. It covers setup for major cloud platforms like Vercel, Google Cloud Run, and Docker. Users can deploy production-ready endpoints, manage required secrets, implement edge functions, and utilize caching mechanisms (e.g., Redis) to ensure high availability and performance in production environments.

This guide implements comprehensive guardrails for Perplexity Sonar API. It covers crucial aspects like query content moderation, PII sanitization, enforcing user usage quotas, selecting appropriate models based on user tiers, and scoring citation reliability to ensure safe, ethical, and cost-effective AI usage.

This skill provides production-ready patterns for integrating with the Perplexity Sonar API in both TypeScript and Python. It covers best practices for creating robust wrappers around the standard OpenAI client, including dedicated handling for citations, search results, and related questions. It also includes essential utilities like implementing exponential backoff for reliable retries. Use this when setting up complex search-augmented generation workflows or standardizing team coding practices around Perplexity usage.
