## Overview

[Agno](https://docs.agno.com) is an open-source Python framework for building agents, teams, and workflows. Connect it to Perplexity's [Agent API](/docs/agent-api/quickstart) through Agno's OpenAI Responses-compatible model class.

## Installation

```bash theme={null}
pip install agno openai
```

## API Key Setup

Set your Perplexity API key as an environment variable:

```bash theme={null}
export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
```

<Card title="Get API Key" icon="key" href="https://console.perplexity.ai/project/keys">
  Generate your Perplexity API key from the API portal.

## Quick Start

Use `OpenAIResponses` with the Agent API base URL and any supported Agent API model. Pass a research [preset](/docs/agent-api/presets) through `extra_body` so answers are grounded in live web results:

```python theme={null}
import os

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(
        id="openai/gpt-5.6-luna",
        base_url="https://api.perplexity.ai/v1",
        api_key=os.environ["PERPLEXITY_API_KEY"],
        extra_body={"preset": "medium"},
    ),
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response(
    "What are the latest breakthroughs in fusion energy this year?",
    stream=True,
)
```

Swap `id` for any [Agent API model](/docs/agent-api/models) to route third-party models through Perplexity. The Agent API also provides research-backed [presets](/docs/agent-api/presets) and additional built-in [tools](/docs/agent-api/tools).
