Hyperbrowser / Fetch a web page as markdown or HTML

Hyperbrowser tool hyperbrowser-api-web-fetch on looot: input fields, $0.001 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Loads a URL in a browser and returns its content. Send url. outputs.formats picks the formats, for example [{“type”: “markdown”}]; html, links, screenshot and json are the others. Returns jobId, status and data with the requested formats and the page metadata.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
browser object no
cache object no
navigation object no
outputs object no
stealth string no
url string yes Example: “https://www.example.com”

Output

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

{ data: { markdown, metadata: { url, title, favicon, viewport, link:icon, sourceURL } }, jobId, 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":"hyperbrowser-api-web-fetch","input":{"url":"https://www.example.com"},"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: "hyperbrowser-api-web-fetch",
    input: {
      url: "https://www.example.com",
    },
    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": "hyperbrowser-api-web-fetch",
        "input": {
            "url": "https://www.example.com",
        },
        "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.markdown as endpointId; see the job page.
