Cross-linking: The suggestions returned by this API can be used as search queries in other SearchAPI engines like Google Search, Google Images, Google Maps, or YouTube Search.

Inputs

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 3 real answers:

{ suggestions: { type, value, relevance }[], search_metadata: { id, status, html_url, json_url, created_at, request_url, total_time_taken, parsing_time_taken, request_time_taken }, search_parameters: { q, gl, hl, client, engine }, verbatim_relevance }

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-autocomplete","input":{"q":"<q>","engine":"google_autocomplete"},"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-autocomplete",
    input: {
      q: "<q>",
      engine: "google_autocomplete",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={

        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),

run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:search.google-autocomplete as endpointId; see the job page.
