search_domain_filter not working, getting citations outside my domain list

[infiloop2]

Hi all, I'm trying to make a api request like this

    url = "https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions"

    payload = {
        "model": "llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online",
        "messages": [
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": (
                    "Help find the latest news for the user through as many sources as possible. Compile "
                    "it in an unbiased way"
                ),
            },
            {"role": "user", "content": f"What's the latest news about US stock market"},
        ],
        "return_citations": True,
        "search_domain_filter": ["cnbc.com"],
        "search_recency_filter": "day",
    }

However I end up getting citations outside cnbc.com domain

@shubhang98 have you been able to look at it? It's not working for me either.

[vitalikmay]

according to API Reference search_domain_filter is currently limited to only 3 domains for whitelisting and blacklisting.

[wyrin-wrynn]

I tried with 3 as well, did not work, even with just 1 whitelisted one it did not work.

[vitalikmay]

search_domain_filter does not work for domain blacklisting either:
"search_domain_filter": ["-domain1.com", "-domain2.com", "-domain3.com"]

[shubhang98]

I apologize for the mistake on our documentation but the search_domain_filter is a beta feature. If you don't have access to it the API does not take it into account.

[vitalikmay]

is there any chance to get access to the beta? I filled out the form but never heard back

[IKDH]

I have also applied few months ago with no answer.

@shubhang98 is it possible to send you an email with our application? Thanks.
