Scrape Creators API / Transcript

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

Generates an AI-powered speech-to-text transcription for an Instagram video post or reel. The video must be under 2 minutes long. Returns a transcripts array with each item’s shortcode and transcribed text; carousel posts produce one transcript per video slide. Expect 10-30 second response times, and null when no speech is detected.

Tool id: scrapecreators-instagram-media-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.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`cache_max_age`	string	no	Example: “7d”
`url`	string	yes

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-instagram-media-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-instagram-media-transcript","input":{"url":"https://example.com","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-instagram-media-transcript",
    input: {
      url: "https://example.com",
      cache_max_age: "7d",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
