Output

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

{ code, data: { id, pk, zip, status, fbid_v2, attempts, category, username, bio_links: { url, title, lynx_url, image_url, is_pinned, link_type, media_type, creation_source, media_accent_color_hex }[], biography, city_name, full_name, is_cannes, is_private, is_business, is_verified, media_count, account_type, errorMessage, external_url, has_chaining, account_badges: unknown[], address_street, follower_count, is_unpublished, linked_fb_info, following_count, has_profile_pic, is_memorialized, is_ring_creator, profile_pic_url, show_ring_award, is_regulated_c18, supervision_info, external_lynx_url, ... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect tikhub-api-instagram-fetch-user-info-by-username-v3 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-v3","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(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "tikhub-api-instagram-fetch-user-info-by-username-v3",
    input: {
      username: "<username>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
