Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 1 real answer:

{ data: { id, url, tags: { code, name, is_primary }[], title, author, entities: { event: unknown[], person: string[], product: string[], location: unknown[] }, group_id, countries: unknown[], full_text, publisher, sentiment, sic_codes: unknown[], ai_summary, industries: { code, name, is_primary }[], iptc_codes: { code, name }[], is_opinion, word_count, is_breaking, naics_codes: { code, name }[], article_type: { code, label }, iab_categories: { code, name }[], published_date, sentiment_score, company_mentions: { name, uuid, website, is_primary }[], is_press_release, original_language, newsworth... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect akta-news prints all of it.

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":"akta-news","input":{},"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: "akta-news",
    input: {},
    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": "akta-news",
        "input": {},
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:company.news as endpointId; see the job page.
