Perplexity Scraper Track brand mentions, analyze rankings, and gain competitor intelligence from Perplexity. Get started in minutes.

What it solves

This project provides a way to programmatically extract data from Perplexity AI, which lacks a comprehensive public API for all its features. It allows developers to automate the collection of AI-generated responses, sources, and metadata without having to manually manage proxies, browser rendering, or anti-bot systems.

How it works

The tool is an integration with Oxylabs' Web Scraper API. Users send a POST request containing a prompt and credentials to the API endpoint. The system handles the JavaScript rendering of the dynamic AI content and returns the results in several formats, including structured JSON, Markdown, raw HTML, or website PNGs. It can also specify a geographic location for the prompt to be sent from.

Who it’s for

Developers and researchers who need to audit AI content, track how information is summarized over time, or monitor SEO performance and brand mentions within AI-driven search results.

Highlights

  • Multiple Output Formats: Supports JSON, Markdown, HTML, and PNG for flexible data integration.
  • Structured Data Extraction: Parses specific fields such as the AI model used, the generated answer, related queries, and source links.
  • Comprehensive Metadata: Captures additional results like images, shopping products, videos, and places from Perplexity's UI tabs.
  • Managed Infrastructure: Handles IP rotation, proxy management, and anti-bot bypasses automatically.
