Inputs

Output

Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

{ code, data: { channel, messages: unknown[], pagination: { count, limit, after_cursor, before_cursor, pages_fetched, has_more_before }, channel_info: { photo, title, username, verified, description, subscribers } }, docs, time, params: { after, limit, before, channel }, 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:

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-telegram-web-fetch-channel-posts","input":{"channel":"<channel>"},"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-telegram-web-fetch-channel-posts",
    input: {
      channel: "<channel>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
