Output
Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:
{ code, data: { video_id, file_size, content_type, file_size_in_mb, original_video_url }, docs, time, params: { region, aweme_id, share_url }, router, message, support, cache_url, time_zone, message_zh, request_id, time_stamp, cache_message, cache_message_zh }
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:
