API Roadmap - Perplexity

Our roadmap is shaped by our users - have a feature in mind? Submit your suggestion here and help us build the future of AI together.

Expanding your ability to access and process information:

Search across various file types
Integration with external data sources
Parity with enterprise connector capabilities

This feature will allow your applications to tap into a broader range of data sources for more comprehensive insights.

We’re expanding our structured outputs capabilities:

Universal JSON Support: JSON structured outputs are now available for all models across all tiers
Complete Regex Support: Extending regex pattern support to all models (currently available for sonar and sonar-reasoning)
Advanced Schema Validation: Enhanced validation options for more reliable structured data
Output Templates: Pre-defined templates for common use cases

This expansion will make it easier to build applications that require consistent, structured data from our API responses.

We’re building a more powerful portal to help you manage your API usage:

Organization Management: Create and manage organizations with the ability to invite members with different permission levels
Enhanced Billing: Improved tools for managing payment methods and tracking expenses
Advanced Usage Analytics: Comprehensive visibility into your usage patterns across multiple API models
Limits Dashboard: Clear view of your organization’s limits to better plan your resource utilization

This revamp will make it easier to manage teams, track usage, and maintain oversight of your API implementation at scale.

We’re committed to making our documentation a truly exceptional resource:

Improved Layout: Optimized structure for better self-serve workflows
Consistent Design: Unified branding between our landing page and documentation
Enhanced Content: Revised explanations for better developer understanding
Vertical-Specific Guides: Specialized documentation for publishers, merchants, and other industry partners
High-Fidelity Demos: More comprehensive examples beyond our basic cookbook demos
Comprehensive Prompt Guide: In-depth resources to help you build effectively with our search + LLM API
API Selection Guides: Clear guidance on which API is best suited for specific scenarios

These improvements will help you get up to speed faster and make the most of our API capabilities.

We’re scaling our infrastructure to support significantly higher request volumes:

Working toward supporting use cases up to 100K RPM
Designed for high-growth startups and enterprise applications

This enhancement will ensure our API can grow alongside your application’s user base and processing needs.

Improving our error framework:

More descriptive error messages
Clearer guidance on resolving common issues

This will reduce debugging time and help you understand and address issues more efficiently.

More granular control over your search results:

Localization: Tune results based on geographic location
Date Range Filter: Control the freshness of search results

These controls will help you deliver more relevant and targeted results to your users based on their specific context and needs.

Broadening the types of content you can work with:

Image Processing/Search: Ask questions about images or search using image inputs
URL Parsing: Extract and analyze content from web pages

These features will enable new use cases and richer interactions within your applications.
