Name	Type	Required	Description

`url`	string	yes	Example: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ”

Output

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

{ success, comments: { id, author: { name, avatarUrl, channelId, isCreator, channelUrl, isVerified }, content, engagement: { likes, replies }, replyLevel, publishedTime, publishedTimeText }[], 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-youtube-video-comments","input":{"url":"<url>","order":"top","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-video-comments",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
      order: "top",
      continuationToken: "<continuationToken>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
