Zyte / Get a page's raw HTML

Zyte API tool zyte-raw-html on looot: input fields, $0.00044 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Fetches a URL with a plain HTTP request (no JavaScript) through Zyte’s anti-ban network. Send url and httpResponseBody: true; a job run takes url only. Returns url, statusCode and httpResponseBody, the page HTML encoded as base64 (decode it to read the HTML). For pages that need JavaScript, use zyte-browser-html.

  • Tool id: zyte-raw-html
  • Provider: Zyte API
  • Job: Get a web page’s HTML (web.scrape.html)
  • Price: $0.00044 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
httpResponseBody boolean yes Always true for this endpoint
url string yes Public page URL. Example: “https://example.com”

Output

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

{ url, statusCode, httpResponseBody (base64 of the page HTML) }

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":"zyte-raw-html","input":{"url":"https://example.com","httpResponseBody":false},"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: "zyte-raw-html",
    input: {
      url: "https://example.com",
      httpResponseBody: false,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
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": "zyte-raw-html",
        "input": {
            "url": "https://example.com",
            "httpResponseBody": False,
        },
        "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:web.scrape.html as endpointId; see the job page.
