PredictLeads / Find companies in VC and accelerator portfolios

PredictLeads tool predictleads-discover-portfolio-companies-connections on looot: input fields, $0.01 per result, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Output

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

{ data: { id, type, attributes: { context, category, confidence, source_url, last_seen_at, first_seen_at, source_category, individual_source_url }, relationships: { company1: { ... }, company2: { ... }, technology: { ... } } }[], meta: { record_state, schema_version }, included: { id, type, attributes: { domain, ticker, company_name } }[] }

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":"predictleads-discover-portfolio-companies-connections","input":{"last_seen_at_from":"2024-09-25","first_seen_at_from":"2024-09-25","last_seen_at_until":"2024-09-25","first_seen_at_until":"2024-09-25"},"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({

      first_seen_at_until: "2024-09-25",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:discover.portfolio-companies.connections as endpointId; see the job page.
