Introducing finance search in the Agent API

Perplexity has launched Finance Search for its Agent API, a tool that combines licensed financial datasets, real-time market information, and cited web sources in a single call to support financial research workflows. Designed for time-sensitive tasks such as valuation lookups, earnings recaps, disclosure monitoring, and tracking analyst estimate changes, it retrieves prices, company fundamentals, transcripts, and market context through a consistent schema without requiring developers to integrate individual data providers. The company says Finance Search routes requests to relevant structured financial sources, enabling agents to generate answers, charts, memos, or longer research workflows using current data. On the FinSearchComp T1 benchmark, Perplexity reports that the tool delivered the highest and most consistent accuracy for live financial-data queries, while also achieving the lowest cost per correct answer by reducing reliance on large volumes of generic web text. Results include inline citations for source verification, and developers can select models, monitor token usage, and use benchmark-tested configurations.
