Perplexity Releases pplx, a Single-Binary CLI That Puts Its Search API in the Terminal for Coding Agents

Perplexity launched ‘pplx,’ a single-binary CLI for its Search API.

It offers two commands: web search and URL content fetch, returning grounded results as JSON.

The tool uses strict exit codes and stderr handling, with output saving and preview truncation for token budgeting.

Support is limited to macOS Apple Silicon and Linux x86_64/arm64.
