media_type string no ALL | IMAGE | VIDEO | MEME
query string yes keyword. Example: “running”
status string no ACTIVE | INACTIVE | ALL

Output

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

{ cursor, success, searchResults: { url, ad_id, spend, page_id, currency, end_date, fev_info, snapshot: { body: { ... }, cards: { ... }[], event, title, byline, images: { ... }[], videos: unknown[], caption, page_id, cta_text, cta_type, link_url, page_name, extra_links: unknown[], extra_texts: unknown[], is_reshared, extra_images: unknown[], extra_videos: unknown[], brazil_tax_id, display_format, additional_info, branded_content, ec_certificates: unknown[], page_categories: string[], page_is_deleted, page_like_count, country_iso_code, disclaimer_label, link_description, page_profile_uri, root_... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-facebook-ads-search prints all of it.

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-ads-search","input":{"query":"running"},"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-ads-search",
    input: {
      query: "running",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
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()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-facebook-ads-search",
        "input": {
            "query": "running",
        },
        "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:ads.meta.search as endpointId; see the job page.
