Scrape Creators API / Ad Transcript

ScrapeCreators tool scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-ad-transcript on looot: input fields, $0.00188 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Retrieves a transcript for a single Facebook Ad Library video ad by ID or URL. If Facebook exposes captions, those are used. Otherwise we try to transcribe the public video URL. Credits are only deducted when transcript is returned. If the ad has no video or no transcript is available, transcript will be null and no credit is charged. Send one of: id, url.

Tool id: scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-ad-transcript
Provider: ScrapeCreators
Job: Transcribe a video from its URL (video.transcript.get)
Price: $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Name	Type	Required	Description

`url`	string	no	Example: “https://www.facebook.com/ads/library?id=1020359190509080”

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-ad-transcript prints its fields.

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":"scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-ad-transcript","input":{"id":"<id>","url":"<url>","cache_max_age":"7d"},"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: "scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-ad-transcript",
    input: {
      id: "<id>",
      url: "<url>",
      cache_max_age: "7d",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
