Parallel
AI · AI
Deep research runs, live web search and extract, and entity discovery on their key.
Connecting Parallel in practice
Parallel prices and rate-limits by processor tier rather than by call, so the same research question costs $5 per 1,000 runs on lite and $2,400 per 1,000 on ultra8x, and an ultra run can stay open for about two hours. Only the POST that creates work counts against the limit — 2,000 tasks a minute, 600 searches a minute — while the GETs that poll for results are free.
Rate limits
- Tasks and Task Groups: 2,000 per minute.
- Search, Extract and Entity Search: 600 per minute each.
- Chat and Monitor: 300 per minute each.
- FindAll: 300 per hour.
- GET requests that retrieve results or check status do not count against these limits.
Worth knowing
- The processor sets the runtime as well as the price: pro is capped at under 10 minutes, ultra through ultra8x run up to about two hours, so a task routinely outlives the request that created it.
- Task pricing spans lite $5, base $10, core $25, core2x $50, pro $100, ultra $300 and ultra8x $2,400 per 1,000 runs — a mis-set processor is a 480x cost error, not a 2x one.
- FindAll charges a fixed fee plus a per-match fee ($10.00 plus $1.00 a match on pro), so the bill scales with how many entities it finds rather than with how many calls you make.
- Search has two price points for the same endpoint: turbo and fast modes are $1 per 1,000 requests, basic and advanced $5, with 10 results included either way.

What an agent can do
Each action is granted on its own. An agent allowed to read is not thereby allowed to write, and the scope beside each row is what the acting user must have connected for it to run at all.
