Output
Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:
{ code, data: { users: unknown[], status, big_list, has_more, page_size, use_clickable_see_more, show_spam_follow_request_tab, should_limit_list_of_followers }, docs, time, params: { count, username }, 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:
