It doesn't work for some reason. Please, respond.

Thank you for opening an issue. The problem is due to changes in Perplexity.AI's cloudflare security, which blocks bots. As of right now I still do not have a solution and I've tested multiple scripts to try and get past cloudflare. I'm very sorry. I'll keep you updated if I find anything.

just an FYI, bypassing CF is something you rarely want to do. Either use dedicated services that specialize in that like ScraperAPI or just a non-headless browser mode in puppeteer.

(besides, perplexity offers their official API now)

Thanks for the tip! The reason I have an unofficial API is because the Perplexity browser interface is free but the API isn’t; which to me isn’t fair. I wish they would make the official API free some day 😀
