Perplexity Embeddings API is one of 12 APIs that [Perplexity](https://apis.io/providers/perplexity/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Embeddings, Retrieval, Semantic Search, and Vectors. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, and best-practice docs.

The Embeddings API generates high-quality text embeddings for semantic search and retrieval, offering both standard embeddings for independent texts and contextualized embeddings for document chunks that share context, with support for Matryoshka representation learning for flexible dimensionality.
