Output

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

{ code, data: { id, fbid, status, eimu_id, attempts, username, bio_links: { url, title, lynx_url, link_type }[], biography, full_name, has_clips, has_guides, is_private, edge_follow: { count }, guardian_id, has_channel, is_verified, errorMessage, external_url, category_enum, category_name, country_block, business_email, follows_viewer, group_metadata, has_ar_effects, profile_pic_url, edge_followed_by: { count }, is_regulated_c18, blocked_by_viewer, fb_profile_biolink, followed_by_viewer, has_blocked_viewer, is_embeds_disabled, is_joined_recently, is_supervised_user, profile_pic_url_hd, transpa... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect tikhub-api-instagram-fetch-user-info-by-username-v2 prints all of 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":"tikhub-api-instagram-fetch-user-info-by-username-v2","input":{"username":"<username>"},"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(),

    input: {

    wait: 30,

const run = await response.json();
