Tools Perplexity AI exposes
Create Async Chat Completion
Create Async Chat Completion (POST /v1/async/sonar). Submits an asynchronous chat completion request for long-running tasks. Returns immediately with a request ID that can be polled using the Get Async Chat Completion action. Only the 'sonar-deep-research' model is supported for async processing. Async jobs have a 7-day TTL. Deep research generates very long responses (10K-100K+ words) with exhaustive multi-source analysis. Use the idempotency_key to prevent duplicate submissions. Poll with Get Async Chat Completion using the returned request ID to retrieve results when status is COMPLETED.
