Find every entity that matches a description.

Job id `research.findall`, in Web search & research (Research agents). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:research.findall` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `entity_type` | string | yes | Type of the entity for the FindAll run. |
| `exclude_list` | string | no | List of entity names/IDs to exclude from results. At most 10,000 entries are allowed. |
| `generator` | string | yes | Generator for the FindAll run. One of base, core, pro, preview. |
| `match_conditions` | array | yes | List of match conditions for the FindAll run. |
| `match_limit` | integer | yes | Maximum number of matches to find for this FindAll run. Must be between 5 and 1000 (inclusive). May return fewer results. |
| `memory_scope_key` | string | no | User-provided key identifying the memory scope to use. Omit to use personal memory, if available. |
| `metadata` | string | no | Metadata for the FindAll run. |
| `objective` | string | yes | Natural language objective of the FindAll run. |
| `webhook` | string | no | Webhook for the FindAll run. |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Parallel](/providers/parallel) | [`parallel-v1beta-findall-runs`](/reference/tools/parallel-v1beta-findall-runs) | $0.25 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect parallel-v1beta-findall-runs` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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:

```bash curl
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:research.findall","input":{"objective":"<objective>","entity_type":"<entity_type>","match_conditions":[],"generator":"<generator>","match_limit":1},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
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:research.findall",
    input: {
      objective: "<objective>",
      entity_type: "<entity_type>",
      match_conditions: [],
      generator: "<generator>",
      match_limit: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os

    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={

            "match_limit": 1,
        },
        "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:research.findall`.
