NameDescription
pplx_deep_research_startA

Start a Perplexity Sonar Deep Research job. Returns a job_id immediately (does not wait for the research to finish). Use this for exhaustive multi-source investigation: literature reviews, market and competitor analysis, regulatory landscapes. After calling this, poll pplx_deep_research_check with the returned job_id. Jobs typically take 2-20 minutes. For quick factual lookups this is overkill and expensive - use a normal web search instead.

pplx_deep_research_checkA

Check a deep research job and retrieve the full report once it is finished. Returns immediately with the current status. If the job is still running, call again. Results stay retrievable for 7 days.

pplx_deep_research_listA

List recent deep research jobs with their ids, models and statuses. Use this to recover a job_id you lost, or to see what is still running.
