Lists companies similar to a given one, with a reason for the top 20. Send company_id_or_domain; page and limit page results. Returns position, reason, score and refreshed_at.

- **Tool id:** `predictleads-companies-similar-companies`
- **Provider:** [PredictLeads](/providers/predictleads)
- **Job:** [Find companies similar to one you name](/reference/jobs/company-similar) (`company.similar`)
- **Price:** $0.01 per result. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | integer | no | Limit the number of shown items per page. |
| `page` | integer | no | Page number of shown items. **NOTE**: If the parameter is not provided, the meta property `count` will be omitted from response for performance reasons. |
| `company_id_or_domain` | string | yes | Company's ID or domain. |

## Output

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

```txt
{ data: { id, type, attributes: { score, reason, position, refreshed_at }, relationships: { company: { ... }, similar_company: { ... } } }[], meta: { message, message_type, record_state, schema_version, redirects_to_domain, parent_company_domain }, included: { id, type, attributes: { domain, ticker, company_name } }[] }
```

## 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>`.

<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":"predictleads-companies-similar-companies","input":{"company_id_or_domain":"example.com"},"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",

  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "predictleads-companies-similar-companies",
    input: {
      company_id_or_domain: "example.com",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
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()),

        "input": {
            "company_id_or_domain": "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:company.similar` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/company-similar).
