Context.dev tool context-dev-web-competitors on looot: input fields, $0.025 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Analyze a company’s landing page and web search evidence to return direct competitors for the same product or market.

  • Tool id: context-dev-web-competitors
  • Provider: Context.dev
  • Job: Competitors web (web.competitors)
  • Price: $0.025 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
domain string yes Company domain to analyze, such as stripe.com. Full http(s) URLs are accepted and normalized to their domain.
numCompetitors integer no Exact number of direct competitors to return. Defaults to 5.
tags array no Optional tags for tracking usage. Up to 20 tags, each 1 to 50 characters.
timeoutMS integer no Optional timeout in milliseconds for the request. If the request takes longer than this value, it will be aborted with a 408 status code. Maximum allowed value is 300000ms (5 minutes).

Output

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

{ domain, status, target: { field, websiteUrl, companyName, fieldDescription }, request_id, competitors: { url, name, domain, confidence, sourceUrls: string[], description }[], key_metadata: { credits_consumed, credits_remaining } }

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":"context-dev-web-competitors","input":{"domain":"example.com","tags":["production","team-alpha"]},"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: "context-dev-web-competitors",
    input: {
      domain: "example.com",
      tags: ["production", "team-alpha"],
    },
    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": "context-dev-web-competitors",
        "input": {
            "domain": "example.com",
            "tags": ["production", "team-alpha"],
        },
        "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:web.competitors as endpointId; see the job page.
