FAQPage Schema
How do I get real-time academic search results with inline citations?

Real-time academic search results with inline citations are generated by routing queries automatically between Parallel Chat API and Perplexity sonar-pro-search. The system outputs markdown with embedded references and saves the findings to the sources directory for reproducibility.

What is the best way to verify scientific claims during a literature review?

To verify scientific claims during a literature review, submit the query to the automatic routing system to retrieve current studies and evidence-backed sources. It selects the optimal backend to deliver cited, verified context directly in markdown format.

Do I need API keys to use Perplexity sonar-pro-search for research lookups?

Yes, API keys are required to perform research lookups, as the system routes queries between the Parallel Chat API core and Perplexity sonar-pro-search to fetch real-time, cited information based on the query content.

Can I use this to gather literature context for technical documentation?

Yes, you can gather literature context for technical documentation by querying the system for relevant studies and data. It routes the request to the appropriate backend and exports structured markdown with inline citations to support your documentation.

How does automatic backend routing work for research queries?

Automatic backend routing evaluates the content of each research query and directs it to either the Parallel Chat API core or Perplexity sonar-pro-search. This ensures you receive the most relevant, evidence-backed literature response with inline citations.

Where are the exported literature review results saved?

Exported literature review results are saved to the sources directory as structured markdown files with inline citations. This ensures that gathered research context and verified claims are reproducible and accessible for later technical documentation.
