CloudConvert / Create job (raw task graph)

CloudConvert tool cloudconvert-jobs on looot: input fields, $0.008 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Power-user route: submit CloudConvert’s own free-form tasks graph directly. Each key is a caller-chosen task name (alphanumeric, -, _); each value has an operation field (import/url, convert, export/url, thumbnail, optimize, pdf/ocr, merge, archive, metadata, metadata/write, capture-website, watermark, command, …) plus operation-specific options, and may reference other task names via input to chain them. Returns immediately with status “waiting”/“processing”; poll GET /v2/jobs/{id} until data.status is “finished” or “error”.

Tool id: cloudconvert-jobs
Provider: CloudConvert
Job: Jobs create files (files.jobs-create)
Price: $0.008 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`tag`	string	no	Arbitrary identifier echoed back on the job, useful for correlating webhooks.
`tasks`	object	yes	Free-form: object of named tasks. Typed as additionalProperties (the gateway’s importer types a bare free-form object as a string; this field is hand-patched to object/additionalProperties after write-seed, per the onboarding brief).
`webhook_url`	string	no	Job-specific webhook receiving job.finished / job.failed events.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect cloudconvert-jobs 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":"cloudconvert-jobs","input":{"tasks":{}},"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: "cloudconvert-jobs",
    input: {
      tasks: {},
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

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

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

    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:files.jobs-create as endpointId; see the job page.
