Entity Reference:

AiSearchEntity

The image below illustrates how the Perplexity response maps to the Perplexity interface:

The highlighted boxes in the image indicate the different response components returned by the API.

UI Element	API Field	Description

The citations array provides granular source attribution for specific claims within the Perplexity response, while sources offers a comprehensive list of all referenced websites with their metadata.
