Perplexity Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy applications using Perplexity Sonar API to edge and server platforms. Perplexity's OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions works from any platform that can make HTTPS requests.

Prerequisites

• Perplexity API key stored in PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
• Platform CLI installed (vercel, gcloud, or docker)
• Application tested locally

Instructions

Step 1: Vercel Edge Function

// api/search.ts
import OpenAI from "openai";

export const config = { runtime: "edge" };

const perplexity = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY!,
  baseURL: "https://api.perplexity.ai",
});

export default async function handler(req: Request) {
  const { query, model = "sonar", stream = false } = await req.json();

  if (stream) {
    const response = await perplexity.chat.completions.create({
      model,
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: query }],
      stream: ,
      : ,
    });

      (response.(), {
      : { :  },
    });
  }

   response =  perplexity...({
    model,
    : [{ : , : query }],
    : ,
  });

   .({
    : response.[]..,
    : (response  ). || [],
    : response.,
  });
}
