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

Google Patents API allows you to search for patents and patent applications. You can filter by country, language, status, type, dates, inventors, assignees, and more. Cross-linking: The patent_id returned in organic_results can be used with the Google Patents Details API to fetch comprehensive information about a specific patent. Pass it as the patent_id parameter to the Google Patents Details API.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google-patents 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-google-patents","input":{"q":"<q>","engine":"google_patents"},"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-patents",
    input: {
      q: "<q>",
      engine: "google_patents",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
