What is an API Group?
An API Group is your organization’s workspace in the Perplexity API Portal. It allows you to:- Manage billing and payment methods for API usage
- Create and control API keys for accessing the Perplexity API
- Invite team members and control their permissions (optional)
- Monitor usage and costs across all your API keys
Prerequisites
Before getting started, make sure you have:- A Perplexity account (sign up at perplexity.ai)
- Admin permissions for billing and API key management
- A credit card ready for payment setup (you won’t be charged initially)
If you’re joining an existing team, you’ll need an invitation from an Admin. Contact your team lead to get access.
Accessing the API Portal
Navigate to console.perplexity.ai to access your API group. The left-hand sidebar is divided into two sections:- Group: Settings, Members, Billing, API keys, Files
- API Playground: Search API, Agent API
