## Perplexity Search API
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
|
|
Perplexity Search API is just a search engine, as opposed to the Perplexity integration, which is using Perplexity's models (in combination with their websearch).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to: `Admin Panel` -> `Settings` -> `Web Search`
|
|
2. Toggle `Enable Web Search`
|
|
3. Set `Web Search Engine` from dropdown menu to `perplexity_search`
|
|
4. Enter your Perplexity API key from [Perplexity API Key management](https://www.perplexity.ai/account/api/keys).
|
|
5. Press save
|
|
|
|
### Using LiteLLM for Search
|
|
|
|
You can use a [LiteLLM](https://docs.litellm.ai/) proxy instance as your search provider instead of connecting directly to Perplexity. LiteLLM's `/search` endpoint is compatible with the Perplexity Search API style used by Open WebUI.
|
|
|
|
To configure this:
|
|
|
|
1. Follow the setup steps above, selecting `perplexity_search` as the engine.
|
|
2. Under the **Perplexity Search API Base URL** field, replace the default URL with your LiteLLM endpoint.
|
|
3. The URL must follow this specific format: `http://<your-litellm-url>/search/<your-search-provider-name>` - Ensurethe search provider name matches the provider name you configured in your LiteLLM setup.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
If your LiteLLM instance is running on localhost and you want to use the `perplexity-search` provider defined in your LiteLLM config:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http://localhost:4000/search/perplexity-search
|
|
```
