+## Agentic Research API (Responses API)
+
+Requires v1.72.6+
+
+
+### Using Presets
+
+Presets provide optimized defaults for specific use cases. Start with a preset for quick setup:
+
+<Tabs>
+<TabItem value="sdk" label="SDK">
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+# Using the pro-search preset
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/preset/pro-search",
+    input="What are the latest developments in AI?",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+<TabItem value="proxy" label="Proxy">
+
+1. Setup config.yaml
+
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: perplexity-pro-search
+    litellm_params:
+        model: perplexity/preset/pro-search
+        api_key: os.environ/PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
+```
+
+2. Start proxy
+
+```bash
+litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
+```
+
+3. Test it!
+
+```bash
+curl http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/responses \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer anything" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "perplexity-pro-search",
+    "input": "What are the latest developments in AI?"
+  }'
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+### Using Third-Party Models
+
+Access models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and other providers through Perplexity's unified API:
+
+<Tabs>
+<TabItem value="openai" label="OpenAI">
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/openai/gpt-4o",
+    input="Explain quantum computing in simple terms",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    max_output_tokens=500,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+<TabItem value="anthropic" label="Anthropic">

+    input="Write a short story about a robot learning to paint",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    max_output_tokens=500,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+<TabItem value="google" label="Google">
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp",
+    input="Explain the concept of neural networks",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    max_output_tokens=500,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+<TabItem value="xai" label="xAI">
+
+```python

+    max_output_tokens=500,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+### Web Search Tool
+
+Enable web search capabilities to access real-time information:
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/openai/gpt-4o",
+    input="What's the weather in San Francisco today?",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    tools=[{"type": "web_search"}],
+    instructions="You have access to a web_search tool. Use it for questions about current events.",
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+
+### Reasoning Effort (Responses API)
+
+Control the reasoning effort level for reasoning-capable models:
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/openai/gpt-5.2",
+    input="Solve this complex problem step by step",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    reasoning={"effort": "high"},  # Options: low, medium, high
+    max_output_tokens=1000,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+### Multi-Turn Conversations
+
+Use message arrays for multi-turn conversations with context:
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
+    input=[
+        {"type": "message", "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
+        {"type": "message", "role": "user", "content": "What are the latest AI developments?"},
+    ],
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    instructions="Provide detailed, well-researched answers.",
+    max_output_tokens=800,
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+### Streaming Responses
+
+Stream responses for real-time output:
+
+```python
+from litellm import responses
+import os
+
+os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API_KEY'] = ""
+
+response = responses(
+    model="perplexity/openai/gpt-4o",
+    input="Tell me a story about space exploration",
+    custom_llm_provider="perplexity",
+    stream=True,
+    max_output_tokens=500,
+)
+
+for chunk in response:
+    if hasattr(chunk, 'type'):
+        if chunk.type == "response.output_text.delta":
