}Perplexity is served through the Universal Web Scraper API
You scrape Perplexity with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any Perplexity URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no Perplexity-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.
About Perplexity
Perplexity is an AI-powered answer engine that returns cited, sourced responses to natural-language questions. Its publicly shared answer pages, which include the generated answer text and the list of source citations, are the content worth scraping.
Scraping note: Perplexity is a client-rendered SPA, so a headless browser is usually required and only public shared answer pages are reliably accessible without an account.
Example Perplexity page
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/EXAMPLE-QUERY-SLUG Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.
Fields you can extract from Perplexity
Common use: An SEO analyst tracking AI search visibility can scrape public Perplexity answer pages to see which domains get cited as sources for target queries.
