The Accuracy score on Perplexity scraper APIs: We score each provider out of 100 on how much of Perplexity's answer the provider's call returns. We ask Perplexity one prompt at a time, from the United States. One prompt is "What are the best GitHub user repository APIs?". We check which parts of the answer the call returns. The parts include the text, the raw data, the cited pages and the links in the text. Perplexity gives a new answer each time you ask, so we don't compare the words of two answers. We compare each list with the longest list on the same prompt. The cited pages are one such list. We average the scores over all prompts. Each prompt counts the same. A prompt with no answer counts as 0. We compare a provider that ran on fewer prompts with the other providers on those same prompts. A provider can't score higher by running only on easy prompts. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer prompts than the benchmark has.
