How do I poll a Perplexity async request?

Short answer: You can get async result in Perplexity by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Perplexity Get Async Result action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Async Result.

What does the Get Async Result action do in Perplexity?
Polls an async Perplexity request by ID and returns its status plus, once complete, the final response with citations. Standard pattern is to loop this every 10 to 30 seconds.
What inputs does Get Async Result require?
Required: Request ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Perplexity returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Perplexity returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get Async Result support batch operations?
Run Get Async Result inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Perplexity's rate limits.
