Steel API / Convert webpage to PDF

Steel API tool steel-pdf on looot: input fields, $0.005 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Renders a web page to a PDF. Send url; delay waits for the page before rendering (up to 10,000 ms, default 2,000). Keep delay short: a slow page plus a long delay can time out. Flat price per call.

Tool id: steel-pdf
Provider: Steel API
Job: Get pdf (pdf.get)
Price: $0.005 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`delay`	number	no	Delay before generating the PDF (in milliseconds). Example: 500
`projectId`	string	no	Project to execute the PDF generation in.
`region`	string	no	The desired region for the action to be performed in
`url`	string	yes	URL of the webpage to convert to PDF
`useProxy`	boolean	no	Use a Steel-provided residential proxy for generating the PDF

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect steel-pdf prints its fields.

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":"steel-pdf","input":{"url":"https://example.com","delay":500},"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: "steel-pdf",
    input: {
      url: "https://example.com",
      delay: 500,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
