Scrape Creators API / Subreddit Posts

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

Fetches posts from a subreddit with sorting and filtering options. Each post includes title, author, link_flair_text when Reddit exposes it, selftext, score, ups, upvote_ratio, num_comments, created_utc, url, permalink, subreddit_subscribers, and is_video. Supports sort (best, hot, new, top, rising), timeframe filtering, pagination via the after token, and a trim parameter for lighter responses.

• Tool id: scrapecreators-reddit-subreddit
• Provider: ScrapeCreators
• Job: List the posts in a subreddit (reddit.subreddit.posts)

Inputs

Output

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

{ after, posts: { id, ups, url, name, downs, score, title, author, domain, created, over_18, spoiler, is_video, selftext, permalink, post_hint, subreddit, created_utc, num_comments, subreddit_id, upvote_ratio, selftext_html, created_at_iso, author_fullname, subreddit_subscribers, total_awards_received }[], success, 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-reddit-subreddit","input":{"subreddit":"<subreddit>"},"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-subreddit",
    input: {
      subreddit: "<subreddit>",
    },
    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-subreddit",
        "input": {
            "subreddit": "<subreddit>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
