Extract image assets from a web page, including standard URLs, inline SVGs, data URIs, responsive image sources, metadata, CSS backgrounds, video posters, and embeds. The base request costs 1 credit, or 2 credits with browser actions. When enrichment is enabled, the entire call costs 5 credits, including requests that also use actions.

- **Tool id:** `context-dev-web-scrape-images`
- **Provider:** [Context.dev](/providers/context-dev)
- **Job:** [Images web scrape](/reference/jobs/web-scrape-images) (`web.scrape.images`)
- **Price:** $0.0125 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `actions` | string | no | Optional browser actions executed in array order after the page loads and before content is captured. Requires a paid plan. Send a JSON array in the query parameter. Maximum: 5 actions. |
| `dedupe` | boolean | no | When true, visually duplicate images are removed: every image is loaded and perceptually hashed, and only the highest-resolution copy of each duplicate group is kept. Images that cannot be downloaded or hashed are kept. Default: false. |
| `enrichment` | string | no | Optional per-image processing, sent as deep-object query params such as enrichment[resolution]=true. |
| `headers` | string | no | Optional outbound HTTP headers forwarded only to the target URL, sent as deep-object query params such as headers[X-Custom]=value. When provided, caching is bypassed: the result is neither read from nor written to cache. |
| `maxAgeMs` | string | no | Reuse a cached result this many milliseconds old or newer. Default: 86400000 (1 day). Set to 0 to bypass cache. Maximum: 2592000000 (30 days). |
| `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). |
| `url` | string | yes | Page URL to inspect. Must include http:// or https://. Example: "https://www.example.com" |
| `waitForMs` | string | no | Optional browser wait time in milliseconds after initial page load before collecting images. Min: 0. Max: 30000 (30 seconds). |

## Output

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

```txt
{ url, images: unknown[], success, request_id, key_metadata: { credits_consumed, credits_remaining }, finalDOMState, cache_metadata: { age_ms, status } }
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
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-scrape-images","input":{"url":"https://www.example.com","tags":["production","team-alpha"]},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
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-scrape-images",
    input: {
      url: "https://www.example.com",
      tags: ["production", "team-alpha"],
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",

        "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.scrape.images` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/web-scrape-images).
