Perplexity Releases pplx, a Single-Binary CLI That Puts Its Search API in the Terminal for Coding Agents
Perplexity has released pplx, an official command line client for its Search API. The tool provides two commands—pplx search web and pplx content fetch—and outputs a single JSON object to stdout. It is distributed as a checksum-verified single binary for macOS arm64 and Linux, and includes an Agent Skill for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and any harness that can read a URL.
Why it matters: This tool enables direct access to Perplexity's search capabilities from the terminal, streamlining workflows for developers and coding agents.
