Pillar Scraper API
The Pillar API is one focused endpoint: GET /v1/pillar/page takes a pillar.io URL and returns the full creator page — profile, social links, products with prices, and per-link click counts — as structured JSON for 1 credit. It uses the same x-api-key and unified schema as SocialCrawl's other 41 platforms, so Pillar data drops into the same pipeline as your Linktree calls.
TL;DR
The Pillar API by SocialCrawl returns Pillar data as structured JSON — 1 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 41 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.

Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.
Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
How does SocialCrawl compare to DIY scraping for Pillar data?
Same Pillar data, two very different paths. Auth, rate limits, schema, and cost — side by side.
| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY scraping |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | One GET request with your API key — first page data in minutes | Headless browser, proxy pool, and HTML parser to build and host |
| Authentication | Single x-api-key header, the same key across all 42 platforms | None to manage, but IP blocks and bot detection are your problem |
| Response schema | Unified JSON shared with 41 other platforms — profile, links, products in stable fields | Raw HTML that changes whenever Pillar ships a redesign |
| Pricing | 1 credit per page; 100 free credits on signup, no credit card | Proxy and server costs plus engineering hours, hard to predict |
| Maintenance | Upstream layout changes are absorbed behind the stable schema | Your parser breaks silently on every UI update |
