Scrape Creators API / Channel Community Posts

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

Fetches community posts from a YouTube channel’s Posts tab, including post ID, URL, content, images, attached video, like count, publish time, channel info, and a continuationToken when YouTube has more results. Pass a handle or channelId for the first page, then pass continuationToken to page through more posts.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
channelId string no
continuationToken string no
handle string no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-youtube-channel-community-posts 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-youtube-channel-community-posts","input":{"handle":"<handle>","channelId":"<channelId>","continuationToken":"<continuationToken>"},"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-youtube-channel-community-posts",
    input: {
      handle: "<handle>",
      channelId: "<channelId>",
      continuationToken: "<continuationToken>",
    },
    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-youtube-channel-community-posts",
        "input": {
            "handle": "<handle>",
            "channelId": "<channelId>",
            "continuationToken": "<continuationToken>",
        },
        "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:youtube.channel.community-posts as endpointId; see the job page.
