Use GPT_WEB to get up-to-date information sourced from recent web search data. Use the function when you need fresh and accurate answers to questions about companies, current events, facts, people, and more.

Ask direct questions to get up-to-date answers based on recent web search data:

Provide a specific URL to search for information on that web page:

info

Searching a specific page only works if:

  • Perplexity's web crawler has already independently indexed the content of the page. The crawler does not index new pages on demand based on URLs you provide. In addition, the crawler respects robots.txt directives and does not index disallowed content.
  • The URL points directly to the page without any redirects. To check if a URL results in redirects, use the Redirect Checker.

If a specific URL does not produce valid results, use a different source of information.
