## What it's good for

Diffbot is in Web data. Reach for it to scrape a URL into structured JSON; extract the article behind a URL; extract a job posting from a URL.

As of 2026-09-28 (catalog revision 85280) it serves 5 jobs through 10 endpoints.

## Jobs

| Job id | What it does | Endpoints |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [`web.scrape.structured`](/catalog/web-data) | Scrape a URL into structured JSON | 6 |
| [`jobs.extract`](/catalog/web-data) | Extract a job posting from a URL | 1 |
| [`web.article.extract`](/catalog/web-data) | Extract the article behind a URL | 1 |
| [`web.discussion.extract`](/catalog/web-data) | Extract a forum thread from a URL | 1 |
| [`web.product.extract`](/catalog/web-data) | Extract a product from a URL | 1 |

## 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](/guides/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](/money/free-and-failures).

## 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](/concepts/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](/concepts/job-inputs).

Example input for `looot run` or the MCP [`run`](/mcp-tools/run) tool, with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash CLI
looot run job:web.scrape.structured --input '{"url":"https://example.com"}'
```

```json MCP
{
  "endpointId": "job:web.scrape.structured",
  "input": {
    "url": "https://example.com"
  },
  "idempotencyKey": "<new unique key>"
}
```

</CodeGroup>

A job run picks among all the job's providers. To run Diffbot itself, name one of its endpoints (MCP [`search`](/mcp-tools/search) with `{"filters": {"provider": "diffbot"}}` lists them), for example `diffbot-analyze`: `looot inspect diffbot-analyze` prints its exact input fields and price.
