what's going on everybody? Josh Pook here, and in today's video, I'm going to show you how you can easily connect Perplexity's API into your n8n node modules and scenarios so you can actually use Perplexity to shoot search, do research, etc., when you're building out your automation sequences in n8n. You don't have to worry about that n8n doesn't have a native Perplexity node, just like how Make does, Make.com, or you can do this all in n8n. We're going to dive into it. Let's dive right [Music] in. All right, so really quickly before I get in, if you're not familiar with n8n, it's an alternative to Zapier and Make.com. Yes, there is a pricing tier here if you want them to host it. I personally self-host it, and once you self-host it, it is open source, so you don't have to pay for it, which is one of the benefits. And if you're using, you know, a lot of automations, it's definitely something I

would recommend looking into. I did about three videos the last couple of days. The main one I would suggest on checking out is showing you how to host it on your own VPS. All right, giving you the exact command prompts, etc. It's a bit longer of a video. It's about 30-40 minutes. But it's going to show you how to get set up so you don't have to worry about it in the future. Make.com. I love still using make.com. But yeah, this is, you know, here's the pricing here. And if you go into make.com, the good thing is they do have a native perplexity module. So if I go like this, for example, perplexity, you really have two options. You can create a chat completion or make an API call, which is literally the same pretty much just as an HTTP. And yeah, so that is the same thing that we're going to be doing in n8n. So I'll leave the perplexity documents in the description below so you can actually go and see them as well.

but essentially, there are really a few things that we're going to look at here. So right here, this is the API reference, and there is literally only one action that you can do, which is chat completions. All right, so it makes it very simple. All we're going to be doing is a POST HTTP request to this link right here: https://corand.api.perplexity.ai/chat-for/completions. All right, you'll see some example body parameters here, different things you can add here, objects you can add, different things like Max tokens, temperature, top P, return citation. Oh, this is cool. So this is actually cool. I like this return citations, return images. This is cool. I didn't know you could do this. Stream determines server. So there's different options you can potentially use. And if you go over here to the language, you can see the shell. So you get the CURL request here if you want to do this on the shell. You can see the headers right here, so we're going to use

a header that is an accept Json, uh, so we're just accept Json, application Json, and then content type application Json. And then once we do that, we're just going to go to the Json right here and add this into our body within Ann. So, it's very simple. I'm going to show you exactly how to do it from scratch. So, just for testing purposes, I'm just uh putting the trigger as in N when clicking test workflow. So, once we click test workflow, we'd be able to see this. And what you're going to do is you're going to add an HTTP node. So, I'll show you what that looks like. We would just go here and click HTTP. We do an HTTP request and we put it to a post. All right, then we would go back to our perplexity documentation and we are going to grab this URL right here for chat completions and we're going to paste that URL here. Authentication, so um, we will use generic credential type um, and then for your generic auth type, you're going to use a header auth.

and then um I could select my perplexity authorization that I already have just for purposes of this video. I'll show you what it looks like. So you would go create new. You can change your name here um here. You would just put off authorization in the name and then in the value. You're just going to put be like that. Oh wait you can't see. So you're going to write bear like that and then you're going to do a space and then you're going to go over to your perplexity account. You would have to go here and uh or go click on the the gear icon to go to your settings. Then you click on API. Make sure you have some credits uh uploaded um so you're going to have to buy credits. I think it gives you $5 of free credits every month. You should be good. Then you're going to generate an API key. These are hidden right now just for the purposes of this video. You're going to copy that API key and then when you're over here say if

this was my API key. Like this, I would just take this, so it's bare with a space in between, then your API key, and you would just paste that for the value, and then you would click save. Okay, so I'm not going to do that. We're going to close, and I'm just going to use my actual perplexity authorization. Okay, next, we are going to send some headers like I showed you, so we're going to come here, we're going to go here, and we're going to grab accept, come here, paste in that first name, come back and grab Json application, paste that in, add another parameter, same value right there, and content type right here. Boom. Okay, and then we're going to select send body, and we're going to be sending Json, and specify body type is going to be using Json, and then we're just going to come to Json here, and you could just copy this. So if you make changes over on this side, like if I added a top P right here, um, maximum is one, if I added a top P, you

can see that it actually shows over here, but I'm not going to do any of that. You could play around and add different stuff here, and it's going to show up over here in the JSON. We're just going to copy this, and we're going to come over here and paste this into the body like so. Now, a few different things you could change: the model. And if you go over into the API docs, and then you click on guides, and click on supported models, you'll see the supported models. So, we got the perplexity models like llama 3, sonar small 32k, chat 32k, online 32k, and then the 7 billion parameter. So, we have a 70 billion parameter and the 8 billion parameter, um, 32k, and online and chat. So, we'll go ahead, if I'm not already using this one, we'll use this, the biggest parameter. Yeah, so we'll use the large parameter and the online. So, online allows it, of course, so you can um, you leverage search. You, this will be really

good for research, sh research builds, and stuff like that, which I'll show you more um in the future on this channel, so make sure to subscribe to stay tuned for those builds um, and then there are open-source models too. So, if you want to use these hugging face ones like llama 38b instruct 7 uh 370b instruct and 87b instruct contacts lengths show right here. All right, so I guess for the online for this one. So, actually, it's not that bad. So, the online does have a bit smaller contacts length but not that bad. And let's just see rate limits. You can check out some of these uh more information here about rate limits we got right here as well as pricing. So, you can see the different pricing here. We're at the large so we're the same as the small five bucks per thousand uh requests. So, pretty solid pricing. And this allows you, of course, like I said, to do online searching through the API, which is useful. You can't really do this uh at this quality of, you know, uh research with things like

chat GPT through the API and perplexity is just the best I've seen for researching in general, right? So here we could set, you could set as many as you want. We're going to set, you know, you can set your system role and your message. This one, for example, is just be precise and concise. And then role user, how many stars are there in the galaxy? We could change this to like, um, what is, um, something interesting that happened yesterday in the news. So this will show and um, tell me what date and time it happened with sources. So let's see how this does. So we're just basically telling it to be precise and concise, asking this question, and we want it to return citations and images. So let's go ahead and test this, executing. So we got it back, let's check it out. Um, yesterday on June 21st, 2024, Taylor Swift reunited with Prince William at the era tour in London. All right, um, okay, one thing I'm curious about is

where we would actually see the citations and the okay so I just searched perplexity. Can I access citations and images when accessing the perplexity API? So currently, citations and images through the perplexity API are limited and not fully available to all users. Here are some key points regarding these features. Close beta. So basically, it's saying it's closed beta. Users interested in this feature need to apply for access by filling in a form and describing their use case. Yeah, so essentially, unless you know, unless it's been recently updated, unless this is wrong guess, you can't access the citations and images yet, even though it says that here. I guess it's just CU, it's in beta. Um, oh yeah, if you, if, if I, if maybe if you're watching this in the future, you can at this point, or maybe I'm just missing something here. So if you, if I am, let me know in the comments down below. But from what I see here, as well as what perplexity is saying, um, it's saying that you can't do it yet.

unless you're in the beta program, which I think would be nice. I may even apply through that form to see if I can get access to the citations because I like knowing where this information comes from. I like to fact-check if I'm leveraging things, as well as to like just nice to know in general. But either way, this is a lot better than when you're doing research than just using the OpenAI API because you can get live data, accurate data, and really good stuff.
