A PerplexityBot request is search-oriented crawler activity. Perplexity publishes crawler network information, while Talivia still reports verification as evidence-based confidence rather than cryptographic identity.
What it does not prove
- The URL was indexed or selected for an answer.
- The page received a citation in Perplexity.
- Crawler traffic is equivalent to referral traffic.

PerplexityBot questions
How do I know a request came from PerplexityBot?
Talivia first matches the PerplexityBot User-Agent token. When a trusted source IP matches provider-published ranges, the request can receive stronger verification confidence.
How can I allow or block PerplexityBot?
Add a rule for PerplexityBot in robots.txt and check the provider’s official documentation for behavior. robots.txt expresses crawl preferences; it is not access control or identity verification.
What does Talivia store?
Talivia stores the hostname, sanitized path, method, User-Agent, optional status, classification, and verification result. It does not store page bodies, cookies, authorization headers, query strings, or raw IP addresses.
