Parallel

aid: parallel
name: Parallel
description: 'Parallel Web Systems builds web APIs purpose-built for AI agents: a high-accuracy Search API, an Extract API
  that turns URLs into clean LLM-ready markdown, a Task/Deep Research API with tiered processors (lite through ultra), FindAll
  for natural-language entity discovery and enrichment, a Monitor API for scheduled web-change tracking, and an OpenAI-compatible
  Chat Completions endpoint. The platform is API-key authenticated over https://api.parallel.ai, ships official Python and
  TypeScript SDKs and a CLI, exposes free and authenticated MCP servers, emits Standard Webhooks and SSE event streams, and
  is SOC 2 Type I/II certified. Originally surfaced as a Kleiner Perkins portfolio company and enriched from Parallel''s public
  developer surface.'

  description: The FindAll API discovers and evaluates entities that match complex criteria from natural language objectives.
    Submit a high-level goal and the service automatically generates structured match conditions, discovers relevant candidates,
    and evaluates each against the criteria. Returns comprehensive results with detailed reasoning, citations, and confidence
    scores for each match decision. Streaming events and webhooks are supported.

    and then on its configured schedule, emitting events when meaningful changes are detected.

    - `event_stream` monitors track a search query and emit an event for each new material change.

    - `snapshot` monitors track a specific task run''s output and emit an event when the output changes.


    Results can be polled via the events endpoint or delivered via webhooks.'

  description: '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'
