Scrape Creators API / Post Comments

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

Retrieves comments and post details from a Reddit post by URL. Returns the post with title, author, score, ups, upvote_ratio, num_comments, and created_utc, plus a comments array where each comment includes author, body, body_html, score, created_utc, parent_id, permalink, and nested replies. Both GET and POST are supported. Use GET for normal requests. Pass one opaque cursor exactly as returned by more.cursor or replies.more.cursor to load the next page. Cursor batching and comma-separated cursor values are not supported. If an opaque cursor becomes too large after extensive pagination, use POST and send the same parameters in the JSON body. Supports cursor-based pagination for loading more comments and a trim parameter for lighter responses.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
cursor string no
trim boolean no Example: “false”
url string yes

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get 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-reddit-post-comments-get","input":{"url":"<url>","trim":"false","cursor":"<cursor>"},"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-reddit-post-comments-get",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
      trim: "false",
      cursor: "<cursor>",
    },
    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-reddit-post-comments-get",
        "input": {
            "url": "<url>",
            "trim": "false",
            "cursor": "<cursor>",
        },
        "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:reddit.post.comments as endpointId; see the job page.
