UnCovered leverages Perplexity Sonar API in three core modes:
86+
87+
```javascript
88+
// Quick Search and Fact-Check with Sonar Pro
89+
const quickResponse = await perplexityClient.chat.completions.create({
90+
model: "sonar-pro",
91+
messages: [{ role: "user", content: factCheckPrompt }]
92+
});
93+
94+
// Deep Research for comprehensive analysis
95+
const deepResponse = await perplexityClient.chat.completions.create({
96+
model: "sonar-deep-research",
97+
messages: [{ role: "user", content: deepAnalysisPrompt }]
98+
});
