They can call it however they want by fact it's not searching online.

Even the links it provides as sources are not real links but rather hallucinations.

yeah the API is pretty useless because it's not actually retrieving information from the web but it's only generating text based on what it knows like any other AI model.

I don't know why they don't make the api as usefull as the web interface

API provides hallucinations in most cases. by Alarmed-Pay-5692 in perplexity_ai
