Using Perplexity Pro with Sonar deep search

So I am in the process of setting up Perplexity as my model to do AI tasks in Devonthink 4. I subscripe to Perplexity Pro and the model for the AI is SONAR.

When I set it up, Devonthink has an input box for an API number.

I am confused as to the need for an API number and how that works with Perplexity Pro. There is a mention that Perplexity has a 5$ month credit for applications that use the API feature of Sonar. Will it work automatically or do I need to insert an API number.

You need to provide your own API key for commercial AI models.

ok, was able to connect with DEVONthink , perplexity, sonar and API… now to try playing with all this amazing stuff…

Just wanted to chime in and offer potential caution when using commercial models and their APIs (as Jim rightfully warns in the manual).

I was playing around this afternoon and, as near as I can tell, burned through my $5 credit from Perplexity without really doing all that much.

So, just be warned if you’ve set up an API with a credit card.

Sorry - correction. it turns out I have not burned through my $5 credit. For some reason, and for a brief period of time, my remaining API credit on Perplexity was not displaying.
