Why connect Zapier
Works with any Zapier trigger
New Google Sheet row, schedule, form submission, or Slack message, any trigger can kick off a Piloterr scrape.
Webhooks by Zapier
Use the built-in Webhooks action for POST requests with custom headers. Pass your x-api-key once and reuse across Zaps.
Downstream routing
Map JSON fields to Airtable columns, Slack messages, or Notion databases without parsing HTML.
Anti-bot handled
Piloterr manages proxies, browsers, and WAF bypass, Zapier never touches protected pages directly.
What you can scrape in a Zap
Every Piloterr endpoint is one HTTP call away from your Zapier workflow.
Scraper APIs
SERP, e-commerce, social, jobs, and company data as JSON.
Headless browser
JavaScript-rendered pages without a headless browser add-on.
Anti-bot bypass
Cloudflare, DataDome, and CAPTCHA solved before JSON reaches Zapier.
Multi-step Zaps
Scrape → Filter → Slack → Sheet in a single automation.
Why Zapier's HTTP action alone isn't enough
| Approach | DIY | Piloterr |
|---|---|---|
| Protected sites | 403 or challenge page | Clean JSON response |
| JavaScript rendering | Empty HTML body | Full rendered content |
| Data structure | Raw HTML to parse | Ready-to-map JSON fields |
| Maintenance | Breaks on site changes | Managed endpoint schemas |
