Untappd Scraper API

The Piloterr Untappd Scraper API lets you extract public data from Untappd as clean, structured JSON — no proxies, headless browsers or HTML parsing to maintain. Endpoints available in production:

• Untappd Beer API — Read one Untappd beer, including ABV, IBU, and brewery.
• Untappd Search API — Search Untappd beers by keyword.

Use it for price monitoring, assortment tracking, competitor analysis, product research or catalog enrichment.

Endpoint	Path	Credits	What you get
Untappd Beer API	/v2/untappd/beer	2	Read one Untappd beer, including ABV, IBU, and brewery.
Untappd Search API	/v2/untappd/search	2	Search Untappd beers by keyword. Cards include brewery, ABV, and IBU. next is null when Untappd does not expose a next page.

How it works

1. Create a free Piloterr account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
2. Send a GET (or POST) request to https://api.piloterr.com/v2/... with the header x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY.
3. Receive structured JSON — Piloterr handles rendering, proxies, retries and parsing.

export PILOTERR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
pip install requests        # Python
# TypeScript: Node.js 18+ (native fetch), run with `npx tsx file.ts`

Every endpoint accepts both GET (query string) and POST (JSON body with the same fields).

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Untappd?

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, respect the website's terms where they apply, and get legal advice for your specific use case. This is not legal advice.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. Piloterr handles rendering, proxy rotation and retries on its side. You only send an HTTPS request with your x-api-key header and receive JSON.

How much does a request cost?

Credits per call: /v2/untappd/beer 2, /v2/untappd/search 2. See the Piloterr website for plans.

What data does the Untappd API return?

Each endpoint returns structured JSON: Untappd Beer — id, abv, ibu, url, name, image; Untappd Search — results[], results[].id, results[].abv, results[].ibu, results[].url, results[].name.

Which languages are supported?

Any language that can make an HTTP request. This README shows Python and TypeScript; the examples/ folder contains cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.
