- **Tool id:** `tikhub-api-threads-web-fetch-user-info`
- **Provider:** [TikHub](/providers/tikhub)
- **Job:** [Fetch user info api threads web](/reference/jobs/api-threads-web-fetch-user-info) (`api.threads.web.fetch-user-info`)
- **Price:** $0.002 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `username` | string | yes | Username |

## Output

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

```txt
{ code, data: { user: { id, pk, username, biography, full_name, is_verified, account_badges: unknown[], follower_count, profile_pic_url, friendship_status, text_app_biography: { ... }, hd_profile_pic_versions: { ... }[], text_post_app_is_private, profile_context_facepile_users, eligible_for_text_app_activation_badge, hide_text_app_activation_badge_on_text_app } }, docs, time, params: { 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](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
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-threads-web-fetch-user-info","input":{"username":"<username>"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
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-threads-web-fetch-user-info",
    input: {
      username: "<username>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "tikhub-api-threads-web-fetch-user-info",
        "input": {
            "username": "<username>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send `job:api.threads.web.fetch-user-info` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/api-threads-web-fetch-user-info).
