Job: Get post comments api youtube web v2 (api.youtube.web-v2.get-post-comments)
Price: $0.001 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`continuation_token`	string	no	Pagination token
`country_code`	string	no	Country code. Example: “US”

`post_id`	string	no	Post ID (required for first request).

Output

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

{ code, data: { comments: unknown[] }, docs, time, params: { post_id, country_code, language_code }, 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-youtube-web-v2-get-post-comments","input":{"post_id":"<post_id>","need_format":true,"country_code":"US","language_code":"zh-CN"},"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-youtube-web-v2-get-post-comments",
    input: {
      post_id: "<post_id>",
      need_format: true,
      country_code: "US",
      language_code: "zh-CN",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
