Parallel CLI

A Unix-friendly CLI for the Parallel Search and Extract APIs.

Semantic search and content extraction that understands intent, not just keywords — right from your terminal.

Install

bun install -g @rikalabs/parallel

Setup

Get your API key at parallel.ai, then:

parallel search --query "latest news about AI"

With agentic reasoning:

parallel search --query "compare React vs Vue" --mode agentic

Extract

parallel extract --url https://example.com

With a specific objective:

parallel extract --url https://example.com --objective "find pricing"

Batch Processing

# Multiple queries
parallel search --query "topic 1" --query "topic 2" --concurrency 5

# From stdin
cat urls.txt | parallel extract --stdin --concurrency 10
