Scrape Creators API / Post

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

Retrieves a single public Facebook post or reel by URL. Returns post_id, like_count, comment_count, share_count, view_count, description, creation_time, and author details. For some reels, Facebook does not expose the same view count on the individual post page that it shows on the profile Reels grid. This value can be null or lower than the public Reels badge. If you need the public Reel badge count, call /v1/facebook/profile/reels with the author URL and match the reel by post_id. For video posts, includes video sd_url, hd_url, thumbnail, and length_in_second. Optionally fetches comments and transcript via get_comments and get_transcript parameters.

Inputs

Output

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

{ post_id, success, like_count, view_count, description, share_count, comment_count, creation_time, credits_charged, credits_remaining }

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-post","input":{"url":"https://example.com"},"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-post",
    input: {
      url: "https://example.com",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import os

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": {

    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
