Scrapes related/follow-up questions from Perplexity search results (perplexity.ai/search). Extracts follow-up questions that appear alongside AI answers.

What this Actor collects

The Actor converts the follow-up questions exposed alongside a Perplexity answer into individual, query-linked JSON records.

  • Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
  • Stores source-backed fields defined by the 9-field dataset schema.
  • Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

  • Follow-up question discovery
  • Prompt and content research
  • Answer-journey analysis

Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.
