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.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
query | string | Yes | "What is quantum computing?" | The search query to get related/follow-up questions for. |
maxItems | integer | No | 10 | Maximum number of related questions to scrape. |
queries | array | No | [] | Optional array of additional queries to scrape in batch mode. |
focusMode | string | No | "web" | Perplexity's focus mode (search scope). |
model | string | No | "" | Optional model override. Leave empty for default. |
language | string | No | "en-US" | Language code for the answer locale. |
