Perplexity

Connect Perplexity to record its access review and data terms as attested evidence. Perplexity offers no admin API for automated tests.

Connect with an API token

1. In Perplexity:

   1. Sign in to the Perplexity API Portal (console.perplexity.ai) with an account that has Admin permissions (only Admins manage API keys).
   2. Click API keys in the left sidebar.
   3. Click + Generate API Key, then copy the new key.

   Labels come from Perplexity's API organization guide. Whether the key is shown only once is not stated. API usage needs a payment method on the API group. Perplexity documents no read-only key.

Frameworks

Perplexity publishes no API for what these tests check, so its evidence is an attestation: connect it to record the connection, then attest the result. An accepted attestation counts toward each control below.

These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
