Perplexity

Batch Search Requests

Need to run the same query against multiple datasets? Use `execute_multi_search` to provide a JSON array of requests. This runs all searches in one API call, saving you time and making your data gathering steps faster. You can then use these results immediately—whether you're building out a dashboard or just need quick insights into product catalog performance.

Monitor Cluster Health

Before running anything big, check the system status. `get_cluster_health` quickly confirms if your Typesense Cloud cluster is operational. You can follow up by using `get_cluster_metrics` to see performance data and usage patterns. These tools give you a full picture of how fast the service is running and where potential bottlenecks might pop up.

Manage Data Sources

Keeping track of what collections exist is crucial. You can list all available search collections using `list_collections`, or find virtual names with `list_collection_aliases`. This helps you figure out exactly which data source to query. If you're managing multiple environments, checking the status via `list_api_keys` keeps your access controls locked down.
