Jobs create files

Run job:files.jobs-create through the looot API: 1 provider, from $0.008 per call. Inputs, prices, output shape and code for curl, JavaScript and Python.

Jobs create files.

Job id files.jobs-create, in Utilities (File conversion). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run job:files.jobs-create and looot picks one of them; with fallback on, a miss moves on to the next. See Jobs.

Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool’s fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

Name	Type	Required	Description
`tag`	string	no	Arbitrary identifier echoed back on the job, useful for correlating webhooks.
`tasks`	object	yes	Free-form: object of named tasks. Typed as additionalProperties (the gateway’s importer types a bare free-form object as a string; this field is hand-patched to object/additionalProperties after write-seed, per the onboarding brief).
`webhook_url`	string	no	Job-specific webhook receiving job.finished / job.failed events.

Providers and prices

Provider	Tool	Price
CloudConvert	`cloudconvert-jobs`	$0.008 per call

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See What’s free.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect cloudconvert-jobs prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:files.jobs-create","input":{"tasks":{}},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:files.jobs-create",
    input: {
      tasks: {},
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:files.jobs-create",
        "input": {
            "tasks": {},
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To pin one provider, send its tool id as endpointId instead of job:files.jobs-create.
