choose-your-parallel-api

Choose the right Parallel API and configuration for cost, latency, and answer quality. Use when adding live web data to an app: current events and prices, a cited answer in a chat, grounding an agent in sources it can read in full, reading a URL or PDF, deep research reports, researching or enriching every row of a list or CRM. Use when picking among Search and Extract, Responses, and Task, or when choosing a search mode, reasoning effort, or Task processor. Also use when an integration is too slow, costs more than expected, or misses answers that are on the web.
