Bright Data / Get a LinkedIn job post

Bright Data tool brightdata-linkedin-job-post on looot: input fields, $0.0015 per result, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Returns a LinkedIn job post from its URL (linkedin.com/jobs/view/{id}) with Bright Data’s scraper. Send input, a list of objects with url; a job run takes url instead. Returns one record per URL: title, company, location, seniority, employment type, description, applicants and posting date. Slow targets can take a few minutes.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
input array yes Records to collect, one object per URL
format string no Always json

Output

Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

{ snapshot_id } | [ { url, input, title_id, job_title, timestamp, apply_link, company_id, job_poster, base_salary, company_url, job_summary, company_logo, company_name, country_code, job_function, job_location, is_easy_apply, job_industries, job_posting_id, discovery_input, job_posted_date, job_posted_time, salary_standards, job_num_applicants, job_employment_type, job_seniority_level, application_availability, job_description_formatted } ]

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":"brightdata-linkedin-job-post","input":{"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: "brightdata-linkedin-job-post",
    input: {
      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": "brightdata-linkedin-job-post",
        "input": {
            "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:jobs.extract as endpointId; see the job page.
