Perplexity API adds max_staleness to force fresh crawls at $0.001 per fetch
VeryWellVersed · x · 2026-11-15
Perplexity's API now supports a maxstaleness setting (in seconds) that forces a re-crawl when its cached copy of a page is older than that; each fetch costs $0.001. The changelog is rare written proof that Perplexity caches every page with a known crawl age — directly affecting how fast your content updates appear in its answers, a key signal for SEO/AEO work. The same changelog adds an 'ultra' effort level to the Agent API, running on Claude Opus 5.5.
