Inputs

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 1 real answer:

{ code, data: { title, author, formats: { fps, url, itag, type, width, height, bitrate, quality, verified, mime_type, audio_quality, has_signature, quality_label, content_length, audio_sample_rate }[], is_live, strategy, video_id, thumbnail: { url }[], view_count, length_seconds, adaptive_formats: { fps, url, itag, type, width, height, bitrate, quality, verified, mime_type, audio_quality, has_signature, quality_label, content_length, audio_sample_rate }[], short_description, expires_in_seconds, available_qualities: string[] }, docs, time, params: { video_id }, router, message, support, cache_u... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect tikhub-api-youtube-web-v2-get-video-streams prints all of it.

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-video-streams","input":{"video_id":"<video_id>","video_url":"<video_url>"},"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-video-streams",
    input: {
      video_id: "<video_id>",
      video_url: "<video_url>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
