Perplexity·medium signal

Perplexity launched Finance Search on May 6 as a new tool in its Agent API. One tool call retrieves licensed financial datasets, real-time market prices, earnings, filings, estimates, ETFs, and cited web sources — eliminating the need to integrate each financial data provider separately. Ranks top on the FinSearchComp T1 benchmark for accuracy/latency/cost. Priced at $5 per 1,000 invocations. For builders: this is the simplest path to grounded financial data in an agent pipeline.
