## What it is
A repository of code examples and documentation for Oxylabs' Perplexity Scraper API, which sends prompts to Perplexity and returns AI-generated responses as parsed JSON, Markdown, HTML, or screenshots. It is a client-side companion to a paid commercial scraping service rather than a standalone scraper.

## Use cases
- track brand mentions in Perplexity answers
- monitor how Perplexity ranks products over time
- run competitor intelligence queries against Perplexity
- collect Perplexity responses as structured JSON for analysis
- audit AI-generated content for SEO research
- scrape Perplexity at scale without managing proxies or anti-bot bypass

## When to choose
- you already use or plan to buy Oxylabs Web Scraper API
- you need reliable, geo-targeted Perplexity data without handling proxies or headless browsers
- you want parsed JSON or Markdown output from Perplexity prompts
- you need ongoing brand/SEO monitoring of AI answer engines

## When to avoid
- you want a free, self-hosted scraper with no paid API dependency
- you need an open-source license - this repo has none
- you only need occasional Perplexity queries that the official API or browser can cover
- you want to scrape targets other than Perplexity
