Endpoint Overview

Detailed documentation, pricing, and usage examples.

OverviewLink to Overview

The Website WebUnlocker (POST) API sends a POST request to a whitelisted website or API URL through Piloterr's WebUnlocker engine, then returns the upstream response (HTML or JSON). Use it when the target endpoint requires a JSON body and is protected by advanced anti-bot systems.

Whitelist required: The target domain must be on Piloterr's approved whitelist. Contact support to request a new domain.
