Context.dev / Search the web and read the results

Context.dev tool context-dev-web-search on looot: input fields, $0.00025 per result, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Searches the web and can scrape each result to markdown in the same call. Send query; numResults, includeDomains, excludeDomains, freshness and country refine it. Returns results with title, URL, description and markdown when asked. Priced per result.

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 2 real answers:

{ query, results: { url, title, markdown: { code, markdown }, relevance, description }[], request_id, key_metadata: { credits_consumed, credits_remaining }, cache_metadata: { age_ms, status } }

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-search","input":{"query":"stripe payments api","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-search",
    input: {
      query: "stripe payments api",
      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-search",
        "input": {

        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
