Name	Type	Required	Description
`tasks`	array	yes	one task object per request; DataForSEO takes an array at the body root Required by DataForSEO: send one of location_name / location_code; send one of language_name / language_code.

Output

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

{ cost, time, tasks: { id, cost, data: { api, limit, se_type, function, language_name, location_code, category_codes: string[], include_serp_info }, path: string[], time, result: { items: unknown[], offset, se_type, items_count, total_count, language_code, location_code, seed_categories: integer[] }[], status_code, result_count, status_message }[], version, status_code, tasks_count, tasks_error, status_message }

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":"dataforseo-dataforseo-labs-google-keywords-for-categories-live","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: "dataforseo-dataforseo-labs-google-keywords-for-categories-live",
    input: {
      tasks: [],
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
