Working smoothly. Hope to try more scraper integrations.
Seamless to integrate, many use cases. Nice UI/UX
Limited credits to test services, difficult to test

Very good, easy to take in hand fast and address problem in less than a hour. You can build an outbound sales machines thanks to the linkedin API
Easy to use, trustable, output data structure easy to transforme
Sometimes services down (crunchbase founding round extract recently), maybe add an "API status" page

I really like the extensive API catalog and the ease of use they offer.
Nothing to declare in particular, the APIs are easy to use.

Overall, I will continue using the service as it provides good value for the price paid and the multitude of APIs and services available using a single credit account.
The API and the services provided were straightforward to get started with. Multiple services are provided using one API key to interact with all of them. The services provided are very useful and valuable for my day-to-day work.
Some endpoints are a little bit slower compared to other alternatives. The dashboard needs to be more responsive.

Overall, it was easy to get started, and it has been working well.
- Allows scraping various sites - Good pricing - Decent speed - Well-documented - Responsive support In my initial testing, it has shown a better success rate for LinkedIn scraping versus another service. Hence, planning to keep using Piloterr.
As far as I know, there is no support for webhooks yet.

We created an enrichment automation very quickly, making it possible to scale the enrichment of all our CRM companies at a price much cheaper than all the current tools.
Piloterr is a great solution for scaling enrichment at low cost ! Documentation is well made and the API logs are clear !
Nothing to mention so far, it answers our needs for now.

Variety of API endpoint, simplicity of use and unbeatable pricing
Reliability sometimes for the Get LinkedIn Profile Info endpoint. But all the others endpoint work very well

Overall experience as been great and thank you for providing the APIs that I can't find anywhere else.
I was able to find the APIs which I was unable to find anywhere else. The documentation was on point as well.
It might be difficult for the first time users to get familiar with the platform.

It was very good overall. I want to see more features in the future.
Its easy to use and has most of the features required for my use case with CrunchBase
I wish Piloterr could add more ways to query company info rather than the crunch base URL and adding news articles could have been there.

In summary, my overall experience was great and I'd highly recommend this tool to anyone out there!
I love how cheap and efficient it is for scraping Crunchbase data in particular. I also loved how clear and easy-to-navigate their API documentation was - Makes life so much easier!
The only thing I didn't really like about Piloterr was that a handful of Crunchbase funding results for a particular UUID weren't 100% accurate. There weren't many, but a bit annoying all the same.
Hello Ruadhán, thanks for your feedback! Our support is available by chatbot on the website and on Discord to answer any questions, don't hesitate.

Very bad from the beginning, we have paid and used it for 6 months and regularly the API will break down and we consistenly lost money
Getting live web data is available and multiple APIs are available
API is constantly broken and end up loosing all the monthly credits as it expires before using. And the usual answer is go use the competition, instead of compensating on credits then it gets expired because their API is broken.
Hello Anand, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We deeply regret the inconvenience and frustration you’ve experienced with our service. We understand that the "frequent API breakdowns" and the resultant loss of monthly credits are significant issues. Ensuring our APIs are reliable and available is our top priority.

Cheap, flexible, and a lot of application ready that do not need a lot of setup. Team can help you configuring your script or api call, they are very reliable and fast to answer. Strong API, i never had any retry even with big amount of requets
Maybe the little lack of documentation but the team helps and if you're at least a little good it should do it.

I can check and validate data (email and linkedin company) in real time from my backend.
If I have a need, Piloterr team develops an API access point for me very quickly.
Lack of uses-cases to fully understand all the possibilities.

I can resolve broken url, find LinkedIn profile and I still discover new usecase every month.
Piloterr get more and more endpoint and usecase are various.
I'm not an API expert so at the begining I had to ask to the support team a bit of help but I got quick and precise answer. Right now I can use this tool easily and the team listen to the recommandation.

Vérifications des emails, enrichissement de nos bases de données, la liste est longue !
La facilité d'intégration des APIs avec nos outils internes a vraiment aider à bien mettre en place les processus souhaités. De plus, les intégrations sont stables et permettent d'envoyer énormément de requêtes sans avoir de problème. L'UI est également très agréable.
Manque de documentation sur comment utiliser les endpoints et il est également difficile de vraiment comprendre le potentiel complet de cet outil, bien qu'il soit très puissant.
