Perplexity

Overview

Protect your Perplexity AI integration with LockLLM's transparent proxy layer. Route all Perplexity requests through LockLLM for automatic prompt injection scanning without modifying your application logic. Compatible with all Perplexity models designed for search-augmented generation and retrieval-augmented workflows.

The integration maintains Perplexity's complete API interface, including search grounding, citations, and real-time information retrieval. Your existing code works exactly as before, with added security protection.

How it Works

Update your Perplexity client's base URL to route through the LockLLM proxy. All requests are intercepted, prompts are scanned for security threats in real-time, and safe requests are forwarded to Perplexity. Malicious prompts are blocked before reaching the model.

The proxy adds 150-250ms overhead and operates transparently. All standard Perplexity features including search grounding, citation generation, and streaming work without modification.

Quick Start

Update your Perplexity client configuration to route through the proxy:

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.lockllm.com/v1/proxy/perplexity',
  apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY,
  defaultHeaders: {
    'X-LockLLM-Key': process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY
  }
})

// All requests are automatically scanned
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'sonar-pro',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: userInput }]
})
