## Output

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

```txt
{ 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](/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>`.
