This section documents the media data returned by the Perplexity endpoint. Media is part of the Perplexity response, so no separate API call is needed.

​
Example request

Media is surfaced based on query relevance. Send a prompt where videos or images are likely to be useful (tutorials, visual subjects, news coverage). No flag is required. 
{
  "prompt": "how to change a bicycle tire",
  "country": "US"
}
This produces a response containing the videos and images arrays documented below.
