Full-text search across the whole The Verge archive back to 2011. Each hit carries the headline, the excerpt, a keyword-in-context snippet, publish and update timestamps, the credited authors, the section and topic it was filed under, the full parsely tag list and the lede image. The source serves at most 100 hits per query however many stories actually match. Price: 10 credits per 10 results

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect anysite-api-theverge-articles-search 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":"anysite-api-theverge-articles-search","input":{"keyword":"openai","count":1},"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: "anysite-api-theverge-articles-search",
    input: {
      keyword: "openai",
      count: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
