Perplexity + Elido: no connector, but AI crawlers get JSON

There is no Ask Perplexity button or connector in Elido. What exists today is on the redirect side: when an AI agent such as PerplexityBot requests a short link, Elido can answer with a JSON-LD description of the link instead of redirecting.

Cosa puoi fare

Where this stands

No deep-link yet

Earlier copy described an Ask Perplexity button. It is not in the dashboard. It is planned.

JSON-LD for AI agents

The edge checks the user agent against a list that includes PerplexityBot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot and others, or an Accept: application/json header without text/html. Matching requests get a JSON-LD description of the link, not a redirect.

REST API works today

You can pull link and analytics data through the REST API into your own script, including one that calls Perplexity's Sonar API.

No committed date

A native integration depends on what Perplexity exposes to third parties. We are not promising a date.

How it works

Behavior on the redirect path

Agent detection runs in the edge redirect service. Normal visitors are redirected as usual. The JSON response is for agents that would otherwise follow the redirect, so they can understand a link without visiting its destination. It is not a data feed to Perplexity.

Today

What works today

There is nothing to configure for the JSON-LD behavior. For the rest:

1
Test the agent response
Request one of your short links with an Accept: application/json header, or with a PerplexityBot user agent, and read the response.
2
Use the REST API for data
Create an API key in the dashboard and read link and analytics data from your own tooling.

Authentication

No credentials involved

The agent response needs no setup. The REST API uses an Elido API key. Elido stores no Perplexity credentials.

Planned

Planned, not built

An Ask Perplexity deep-link from analytics charts.
A native connector, if Perplexity opens a public surface for it.
Controls to turn the AI-agent JSON response off per workspace or link.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an Ask Perplexity button?+

No. It is planned, not built.

Does Elido redirect PerplexityBot?+

No. Requests identified as AI agents get a JSON-LD description of the link instead of a redirect. Human visitors are redirected normally.

Can I turn the AI-agent response off?+

Not yet. There is no setting for it.

Does Elido send data to Perplexity?+

No. The JSON is only returned when an agent requests a short link.

Which agents are detected?+

A fixed list of user-agent signatures, including PerplexityBot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and others, plus any request that asks for application/json without text/html.
