SearchAPI.io - Bing Videos API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-bing-videos on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

The Bing Videos API allows you to search for video content across the web using the Bing search engine. This API provides access to video results with metadata including titles, durations, sources, view counts, and thumbnails. Cross-linking: The video IDs and URLs returned by this API can be used with other APIs to fetch additional information. Video links lead to the source platform where the video is hosted (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).

  • Tool id: searchapi-io-bing-videos
  • Provider: SearchAPI.io
  • Job: Bing videos search (search.bing-videos)
  • Price: $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-bing-videos 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":"searchapi-io-bing-videos","input":{"q":"<q>","engine":"bing_videos"},"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: "searchapi-io-bing-videos",
    input: {
      q: "<q>",
      engine: "bing_videos",
    },
    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": "searchapi-io-bing-videos",
        "input": {
            "q": "<q>",
            "engine": "bing_videos",
        },
        "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:search.bing-videos as endpointId; see the job page.
