Experimental endpoint. Checks a YouTube video for the paid-promotion disclosure and infers likely sponsors/promoted brands from the public description, description links, promo-code text, and transcript. YouTube tells us that a video contains paid promotion, but it does not always tell us the sponsor directly, so this endpoint returns suspected sponsors with confidence and evidence. This is inferred, not an official YouTube sponsor field. Feedback welcome: support@scrapecreators.com

- **Tool id:** `scrapecreators-youtube-video-sponsors`
- **Provider:** [ScrapeCreators](/providers/scrapecreators)
- **Job:** [Sponsors youtube video](/reference/jobs/youtube-video-sponsors) (`youtube.video.sponsors`)
- **Price:** $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `language` | string | no | Example: "en" |
| `url` | string | yes | Example: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVO0ifle-OU" |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect scrapecreators-youtube-video-sponsors` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
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-sponsors","input":{"url":"<url>","language":"en"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
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-sponsors",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
      language: "en",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
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-video-sponsors",
        "input": {
            "url": "<url>",
            "language": "en",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```
