Provider: Linkup
Job: Answer web (web.answer)
Price: $0.006 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`input`	string	yes	The natural language question for which you want to retrieve context. Example: “What is Microsoft’s 2024 revenue?”
`instructions`	string	no	Optional instructions to guide the response generation. It`s similar to a system message. Example: “You are a helpful assistant that provides concise answers.”
`model`	string	yes	linkup-standard (faster) or linkup-deep (more thorough). Example: “linkup-standard”
`text`	string	no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect linkup-responses prints its fields.

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":"linkup-responses","input":{"input":"What is Microsoft'\''s 2024 revenue?","model":"linkup-standard","instructions":"You are a helpful assistant that provides concise answers."},"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: "linkup-responses",
    input: {
      input: "What is Microsoft's 2024 revenue?",
      model: "linkup-standard",
      instructions: "You are a helpful assistant that provides concise answers.",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
