Connect Parallel to your AI agent
Parallel offers a Task API for automated, structured web research, transforming natural language queries into precise, schema-compliant outputs.
We set up the connection using your own Parallel account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.
Actions
What your agent can do in Parallel
Each one is a real action the agent can take on its own, the same things a person clicking around Parallel could do. Read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against your policy.
- Add Enrichment to FindAll Run Tool to add an enrichment to a FindAll run. Use when you need to enrich existing FindAll run results with additional structured data fields. Enrichments define what information to extract from matched entities using a J…
- Add Runs to Task Group Tool to initiate multiple task runs within a TaskGroup. Use when you need to execute multiple tasks in parallel within an existing task group.
- Cancel FindAll Run Tool to cancel an active FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to stop a running FindAll operation before it completes. Cannot cancel runs that have already terminated.
- Create Chat Completions Tool to get realtime chat completions from Parallel AI. Use when you need conversational AI responses or structured outputs via chat interface. Can be combined with Task API processors for research-grade structured outp…
- Create Monitor Tool to create a web monitor that periodically runs the specified query. The monitor runs once at creation and then continues according to the specified cadence (hourly, daily, weekly, or every two weeks). Use when you…
- Create Task Group Tool to create a new task group. Use when batching multiple tasks for parallel execution. Task Groups enable grouping and tracking of multiple task runs within a single manageable unit.
- Create Task Run Tool to create and initiate a task run. Returns immediately with a run object in status 'queued'. Use when you need to execute tasks asynchronously with Parallel AI processors.
- Delete Monitor Tool to delete a monitor, stopping all future executions. Use when you need to permanently remove a monitor. Deleted monitors can no longer be updated or retrieved.
- Extend FindAll Run Tool to extend a FindAll run by adding additional matches to the current match limit. Use when you need to increase the number of matches for an existing FindAll run that is still active or has completed.
- Extract Content from URLs Tool to extract relevant content from specific web URLs. Use when you need to fetch and extract content from known URLs with optional focusing on specific objectives or search queries.
- Fetch Task Group Runs Tool to retrieve task runs from a Task Group as a resumable stream. Use when you need to fetch all runs within a group, optionally including their inputs and outputs. The stream can be resumed using the event_id as a cu…
- Start FindAll Run Tool to start a FindAll run. Use when you need to discover and match entities based on natural-language objectives. Supports custom conditions, exclusion lists, and webhook callbacks.
- Get FindAll Run Result Tool to fetch the final (or latest available) FindAll candidates and result payload for a run. Use when you need to retrieve matched/unmatched candidates after a FindAll run has progressed or completed.
- Get FindAll Run Schema Tool to retrieve the schema configuration of a FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to inspect the objective, entity type, match conditions, and other schema details for a previously created FindAll run.
- Ingest FindAll Run Tool to transform a natural language search objective into a structured FindAll specification. Use when you need to generate a FindAll run spec from a user's natural language description. The generated specification ser…
- List Monitor Events Tool to list events for a monitor from up to the last 300 event groups. Retrieves events including errors and material changes in reverse chronological order.
- List Monitors Tool to list active monitors for the user. Returns all monitors regardless of status with their configuration and current state. Supports cursor-based pagination using monitor_id and limit parameters.
- Retrieve Event Group Tool to retrieve an event group for a monitor. Use when you have a valid monitor ID and event group ID and want to view the execution history.
- Retrieve FindAll Run Status Tool to retrieve status and metadata for a FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to poll or check the progress of a FindAll run that was previously created.
- Retrieve Monitor Tool to retrieve a specific monitor by ID. Returns the monitor configuration including status, cadence, query, and webhook settings.
- Retrieve Task Group Tool to retrieve details of a specific task group. Use when you have a valid task group ID and want to view its details.
- Retrieve Task Group Run Tool to retrieve run status by run_id for a task group. Use when you need to check the status of a specific task group run or poll for completion.
- Retrieve Task Run Tool to retrieve run status by run_id. Use when you need to check the status or details of a specific task run. The run result is available from the /result endpoint.
- Retrieve Task Run Input Tool to retrieve the input data of a specific task run by run_id. Use when you need to view the original input parameters that were provided to a task run.
- Retrieve Task Run Result Tool to retrieve the result of a task run by run_id, blocking until the run completes. Use when you need to wait for and fetch the final output of a previously initiated task run. The request will block until the run co…
- Parallel Search Tool to perform parallel semantic search. Use when you need to retrieve top matching documents for multiple queries in a single call.
- Simulate Event Tool to simulate sending an event for a monitor. Use when testing monitor webhooks or validating monitor configurations. Simulates sending an event of the specified type (defaults to monitor.event.detected).
- Stream FindAll Events Tool to stream events from a FindAll run. Use when you need real-time updates on candidate discovery, matching progress, and run status.
- Stream Task Group Events Tool to stream events for a Task Group. Use when you want real-time updates of group status and run completions.
- Stream Task Run Events Tool to stream events for a Task Run. Returns progress updates and state changes for the task run. For runs without enable_events=true, event frequency is reduced.
- Suggest Task Tool to suggest tasks based on user intent. Use when you need task specifications generated from a natural language description of what you want to accomplish.
- Update Monitor Tool to update a monitor's configuration. Use when you need to modify an existing monitor's cadence, query, metadata, or webhook settings. At least one field must be non-null to apply an update.
Setup
How we connect it
- 1
Connect your account
You create a key in Parallel, a key you create and control, and paste it in once. It lives in a secrets store on your server, not with us.
- 2
Set the guardrails
Read-only by default. You choose which write actions the agent may take, and anything outside that policy gets confirmed with you first.
- 3
We keep it running
Health checks on every connection, updates handled for you, and we watch the first week of activity to make sure the work lands.
FAQ
Parallel questions, answered.
With a key you create and control. You paste it in once, it is stored in a secrets store on your server, permissions are scoped to the minimum the agent needs, and you can revoke it at any time.
The actions Parallel's API allows, the same things a person clicking around the app could do. Connections start read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against the policy you set before the agent takes them.
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included, some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
Standard tools are ready inside 7 business days of the setup call. We test the connection end to end, walk you through how the agent uses it, and watch the first week of activity.
