Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`gl`	string	no	Two-letter country code for result localization (e.g. us, gb, de).
`hl`	string	no	Two-letter interface and results language code (e.g. en, es, de).
`limit`	integer	no	Requested article count (1-20, default 20). Google News returns its latest matching articles and may return more or fewer than requested. Price is flat per request.
`location`	string	no	Fine-grained location for result localization, given as a canonical Google location string (e.g. ‘New York, United States’, ‘London, United Kingdom’). More specific than the country-level gl.
`query`	string	yes	News search query; supports operators like ‘-’, ‘OR’, and ‘site:’ (e.g. bitcoin site.com).
`timeframe`	string	no	How far back to search, written as a count plus a unit: h hours, d days, w weeks, m months, y years. So 2h is the last two hours, 30d the last thirty days, 6m the last six months. Omit this field, or send ‘all’, to search without a time limit.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect anyapi-run-google-news 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":"anyapi-run-google-news","input":{"query":"<query>"},"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: "anyapi-run-google-news",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import os

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",

        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),

print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
