Scrape a URL into structured JSON

Run job:web.scrape.structured through the looot API: 3 providers, from $0.0012 per call. Inputs, prices, output shape and code for curl, JavaScript and Python.

Scrape a URL into structured JSON.

Job id web.scrape.structured, in Scrapers (Web data). As of 2026-10-01, 3 providers serve it through 8 tools. Run job:web.scrape.structured 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
url 7 of 9 providers
phone 1 of 9 providers

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

Providers and prices

Provider Tool Price
Diffbot diffbot-analyze $0.0012 per call
Diffbot diffbot-event $0.0012 per call
Diffbot diffbot-extract-analyze $0.0012 per call
Diffbot diffbot-image $0.0012 per call
Diffbot diffbot-list $0.0012 per call
Diffbot diffbot-video $0.0012 per call
Bright Data brightdata-scrape-structured $0.0015 per result
Firecrawl firecrawl-scrape $0.005 per call

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 diffbot-video, checked against 4 real answers:

{ error, objects: { url, date, html, mime, text, type, title, author, images: { url, title, primary }[], pageUrl, duration, embedUrl, provider, viewCount, diffbotUri, naturalWidth, humanLanguage, naturalHeight, resolvedPageUrl }[], request: { api, pageUrl, version }, errorCode, humanLanguage }

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:web.scrape.structured","input":{"url":"https://example.com"},"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:web.scrape.structured",
    input: {
      url: "https://example.com",
    },
    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:web.scrape.structured",
        "input": {
            "url": "https://example.com",
        },
        "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:web.scrape.structured.
