Parallel Web Systems

Parallel Web Systems Tasks API

The Task API executes web research and extraction tasks. Clients submit a natural-language objective with an optional input schema; the service plans retrieval, fetches relevant URLs, and returns outputs that conform to a provided or inferred JSON schema. Supports deep research style queries and can return rich structured JSON outputs. Processors trade-off between cost, latency, and quality. Each processor supports calibrated confidences. - Output metadata: citations, excerpts, reasoning, and confidence per field Task Groups enable batch execution of many independent Task runs with group-level monitoring and failure handling. - Submit hundreds or thousands of Tasks as a single group - Observe group progress and receive results as they complete - Real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE) - Add tasks to an existing group while it is running - Group-level retry and error aggregation
