Perplexity launched Finance Search in its Agent API, a tool that retrieves time-sensitive financial data from licensed sources in a single call. It returns cited results in a consistent schema, enabling developers to build valuation lookups, earnings recaps, and market monitors without integrating multiple providers separately. Benchmark results on FinSearchComp T1 show higher accuracy and lower cost per correct answer compared to generic web search.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-finance-search-in-the-agent-api:

> In a single tool call, Finance Search combines licensed financial datasets, real-time market data, and cited web sources.
