Why doesn't the perplexity integration allow for an API key?

The Perplexity integration doesn't support custom API keys - it only uses Clay's managed account. Unlike other integrations like Clearbit, RocketReach, or Findymail that offer both Clay-managed accounts and the option to add your own API key, Perplexity currently only operates through our built-in integration.

The sources don't specify why Perplexity doesn't support custom API keys. However, not all integrations offer this option - it's a design choice by each provider. Many integrations like OpenAI, Anthropic, Apollo, and email providers do support custom API keys, but some integrations only work through our managed accounts.
