Perplexity scraping FAQ
Is this different from the Perplexity API?
Yes. The official Sonar API is a developer model endpoint — it does not mirror what perplexity.ai shows users, and citation behaviour differs. llmdata captures the real consumer interface.
Do I get citation positions?
Yes — each source comes with its position, so you can track citation rank over time, not just presence.
Can I run bulk keyword sets?
Yes, fire as many prompts as you need concurrently; responses come back per-request or via webhook for large batches.
