Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 5 real answers:

{ ads: { link, badge, title, domain, source, favicon, snippet, position, sitelinks: { inline: { ... }[] }, tracking_link, block_position, displayed_link, advertiser_info_token }[], pagination: { next, current }, ai_overview: { error, markdown, page_token, text_blocks: { type, items: { ... }[], answer, reference_indexes: integer[] }[], reference_links: { link, index, title, source, favicon, snippet, thumbnail }[] }, perspectives: { date, link, title, topic, author, source, iso_date, position, reactions, thumbnail, description, is_ai_overview }[], inline_videos: { link, image, title, length, sou... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google prints all of it.

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-google","input":{"q":"trains from London to Manchester","gl":"uk","lr":"lang_en|lang_de","engine":"google"},"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-google",
    input: {

      gl: "uk",
      lr: "lang_en|lang_de",
      engine: "google",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
