Access
- Runs on looot’s key for 10 endpoints: nothing to set up, the run spends your looot balance. You can connect your own key instead; see Bring your own key.
Price basis
10 per call (from $0.0012). A call that fails at the provider costs $0; see What’s free.
Free first in fallback
No. Every endpoint bills on each answer, found or not, so a fallback walk pays for a miss here. See Free first.
Run it
A job run takes shared input names, not Diffbot’s own field names; looot maps them for each provider. For job:web.scrape.structured, url is taken by 7 of its 9 providers. See Job inputs.
Example input for looot run or the MCP run tool, with placeholder values:
looot run job:web.scrape.structured --input '{"url":"https://example.com"}'{
"endpointId": "job:web.scrape.structured",
"input": {
"url": "https://example.com"
},
"idempotencyKey": "<new unique key>"
}A job run picks among all the job’s providers. To run Diffbot itself, name one of its endpoints (MCP search with {"filters": {"provider": "diffbot"}} lists them), for example diffbot-analyze: looot inspect diffbot-analyze prints its exact input fields and price.
