Retrieve people

Run job:people.retrieve through the looot API: 1 provider, from $0.05 per call. Inputs, prices, output shape and code for curl, JavaScript and Python.

Retrieve people.

Job id people.retrieve, in Enrichment (People & contact data). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run job:people.retrieve 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
`identifiers`	string	yes	Known identifiers for the person. At least one identifier is required.
`tags`	array	no	Optional tags for tracking usage. Up to 20 tags, each 1 to 50 characters.
`timeoutMS`	integer	no	Optional timeout in milliseconds for the request. If the request takes longer than this value, it will be aborted with a 408 status code. Maximum allowed value is 300000ms (5 minutes).

Providers and prices

Provider	Tool	Price
Context.dev	`context-dev-people-retrieve`	$0.05 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 context-dev-people-retrieve 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:people.retrieve","input":{"identifiers":"<identifiers>","tags":["production","team-alpha"]},"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:people.retrieve",
    input: {
      identifiers: "<identifiers>",
      tags: ["production", "team-alpha"],
    },
    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:people.retrieve",
        "input": {
            "identifiers": "<identifiers>",
            "tags": ["production", "team-alpha"],
        },
        "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:people.retrieve.
