How to connect a chat model?

[Cascade]

I’m new to n8n and excited to use Perplexity within my workflows as my chat model. I have a Perplexity Pro subscription, I’ve got some API credits to play with each month. However, I’m struggling to find clear guidance on setting up the Perplexity node as a chat model in n8n.

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Hey @Cascade hope all is well. Welcome to the community.

Three ways you can reach Perplexity would be:

• via openrouter account (https://openrouter.ai/), where you can integrate your own perplexity key (BYOK). This will require extra credit with openrouter.

  OpenRouter setup

• via native Perplexity Node

• via http request from HTTP Request node by utilizing perplexity api endpoints directly (I used the header with API key, but the recommended way is to create a separate credentials).
