how to fix it?

It's a strange thing. It worked very well yesterday, and today I started to report wrong error uuid.
I want to know what part of the problem this is
Can you help me? Thank you very much

Can you please provide some exmples how to use perplexity.upload(path) function?
For example, is it possible to upload a csv template and ask perplexity to put results into the template?

I tried different combinations of mode (concise/copilot) and search_focus (internet/scholar/youtube) but seems not working well. It does not show references (web results/extra web results) neither any URL as perplexityAI does.
For the mode, is there any modification to do? I just change mode='copilot' in perplexity.search() function

Truly an amazing project. However the examples in the Readme only shows how to get results with one question and one answer, can anyone show how to get answer from a multi-turn question.
For instance:
Q: how to cook an egg?
A: xx
Q: what about fish?
A:

Hi, I'm testing out the latest version of the code, where everything is condensed into the Perplexity.py file.
The generator that's returned from perplexity.search some times returns status=Pending with answer =''. What should we do in those scenarios to get a proper final answer?

I am using this solution on the same machine that I already logged in to perplexity from. I already passed cloudflare manually on the browser. I face NO issue with cloudflare running it on the same machine

will it bypass cloudflare if its deployed on cloud as well ?

I saw in recent commits it showed that there was a fix for making more than 9 requests, but still when I run a bunch of queries in a for-loop i get rate-limited. How to fix this? Or, what's the best way to harvest like 100-1000 requests using this?

I am using the most recent update and am running into the following error when using the perplexity class:

Looking at previous issues, it looks like this was previously accounted for by adding a User agent string but recently it is occurring again. I have tried providing a "real" looking user agent as well as run the requests through a proxy but no luck. Any other ideas on how to resolve this?

I encountered an error again after your update. Could you please fix it?

It looks like Perplexity update their protection, as the same problem as #10 is back.

Hi @nathanrchn! Again, I think there is the problem about cloudfare settings of perplexity and any perplexity.search() provide this error as output:

How did you fix it the previous times?

I get the following error after updating to the latest version (which is probably related to the new utils.py):

Sometimes the search freezes for a very long time, you need to set a timeout somehow.

Hello,

I'm using jupyter lab and I got this error when I run the code :
websocket error: Handshake status 400 Bad Request

I also noticed that the cell keeps running forever.

I made sure to install the last version of the repository, and also websocket.

from perplexity import Perplexity

perplexity = Perplexity()
answer = perplexity.search("What is the meaning of life?")
for a in answer:
print(a)
perplexity.close()

Hi There,
Thanks for the wonderful contribution for this wrapper. I am not python person and don't know the process handeling much, Currently the program works perfectly when I run my code as $python3 mycode.py , it prints the output but doesn't exit. I am looking to run this as shell script and pipe the response to a file or to another script (non python). How do I achieve that?

I want the program to run and exit with unix process success code so the next thing in the pipe can take over.

I get the following error when I try to run it.

websocket error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)

Do you know what causes this and how to fix it?

P.S.: I have updated websocket-client to the latest version (1.7.0).

Is there a way to response to Copilot "questions"/prompts? Pushing the "skip" button would suffice for now.

how to use labs things in your code

I got it after a few days of the initial try, expiration is for tomorrow. Can you add another check?

i followed the codes:

perplexity = Perplexity.Perplexity()
answer = perplexity.search("What is the meaning of life?")
print(answer.json_answer_text["answer"])
but i get this problem. i can visit the perplexity.ai website and i think its not the network error.

I execute the following code:

    perplexity = Perplexity("[email protected]")
    answer = perplexity.search(q)
    for a in answer:
        wr = a["web_results"]
        print(wr[0]["snippet"])

The answer seems to have 75 yields but they are all the exact same sentence (as far of the snippet for the web result) -- it never gets completed.

Same happens without login

Hello. I successfully authenticate with email, as described in short tutorial.
As far as I understand, ".perplexity_session" file is being created in fodedr where python script (program) resides, at least on Linux.
Is there any way to have multiple sessions on same computer, running in parallel?
Can authentication be directly with API KEY instead of email account?

Thanks for building this @nathanrchn !

Is this class still usable as-is?
When running it, I get errors on the 'ask_anonymous_user' step.

Here is the error message after catching the error:

    assert self.ask_anonymous_user(), "Failed to ask anonymous user"
AssertionError: Failed to ask anonymous user

After the last commit (2nd October), the answer format displayed is the next one (JSON file).
The only chance to manage it is to manually access to the answer or there is any way to get the "readable" answer?

perplexity = Perplexity()
answer = perplexity.search("What is the meaning of life?")

Hello,

Something strange happens when I ask many prompts in a few seconds. My script does not crash but the AI doesn't answer as well, and my script keeps running forever. Setting timeout in search method allows to move to the next query but the problem is similar. The only way to move on is to kill script and start it again.
It always happen after 8 or 9 successful queries.

I assume that this is not a bug from this code, but probably a security from the website. Any idea about how to bypass this ? I don't have a billion queries to ask, only 15/20.

My codes are like:
"""
1 from perplexity import Perplexity
2 perplexity = Perplexity()
3 answer = perplexity.search("What is the meaning of life?")
4 for a in answer:
5 print(a)
6 perplexity.close()
"""
When I run this, it just stuck in line 3, which is "search" function. After a long time, I will get this error message: websocket error: [Errno 60] Operation timed out.
Is there any solution?

does anyone know how long a rate limit lasts, i have just sended like 20 messages and then it said i got rate limited?

Is it possible to know which model was used when getting an answer? I know we can see that on the web interface, but I don't get it as part of the answer object. Thank you!

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with the package that somehow only manifests when I deploy the app on Heroku.
The JSOn values returned by the API seem to be generating errors during decoding, and I tried with both versions of the packages (Github and pip package from here).

Both works fine when I run it locally though, and the issue with Heroku popped up only in the last few weeks. Anyone faced similar issues and know what could be the problem?

Thank you

Recently perplexity API started returning empty results. The strangest part is that it doesn't always do it, but it just randomly sometimes returns nothing. Here is my code:

from perplexity import Perplexity
def send_query_perp(query: str) -> Tuple[str, List[str]]:
    perplexity = Perplexity()
    perp_answer = perplexity.search(query)
    perp_answer_dicts = []
    sources = []
    for i in perp_answer:
        perp_answer_dicts.append(i)
    perplexity.close()
    try:
        print("web results: ", perp_answer_dicts[-1])
    except Exception as e:
        print("exc: ", e)
        print("web results: ", perp_answer_dicts)
    for source in perp_answer_dicts[-1]["web_results"]:
        sources.append(source['url'])
    return perp_answer_dicts[-1]["answer"], sources

Result (sometimes):
exc: list index out of range
web results: []

Could anyone please point out if I did something wrong, or it's an actual issue?

After setting up the env and dependencies, I got this error when I run the test code. Do you know how to fix it? I tried to modify user-agent and still had that issue. Thank you very much.
