Search Taobao and Tmall products

Run job:taobao.product.search through the looot API: 1 provider, from $0.0223 per call. Inputs, prices, output shape and code for curl, JavaScript and Python.

Search Taobao and Tmall products.

Job id taobao.product.search, in E-commerce (Other marketplaces). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 2 tools. Run job:taobao.product.search and looot picks one of them; with fallback on, a miss moves on to the next. See Jobs.

Inputs

A job run takes shared input names; looot maps them to each provider’s own fields. See Job inputs.

Input Taken by
page 2 of 2 providers
query 2 of 2 providers

Any other key you send passes through unchanged. Each tool’s own fields are on its page below.

Providers and prices

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

Output

Each provider answers in its own shape. Shape of the run’s result from justoneapi-api-taobao-search-item-list, checked against 2 real answers:

{ code, data: { code, model: { page: { ... }, success, extraMap: { ... }, itemList: unknown[], traceList: unknown[], costMillis, responseStatus }, extraMap: { MtopCostMillis } }, message, requestId, recordTime }

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:taobao.product.search","input":{"keyword":"<keyword>"},"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:taobao.product.search",
    input: {
      keyword: "<keyword>",
    },
    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:taobao.product.search",
        "input": {
            "keyword": "<keyword>",
        },
        "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:taobao.product.search.
