ScraperCity + Pipedrive

In Pipedrive, go to Settings, then Personal Preferences, then API. Copy your personal API token. All Pipedrive API requests use this token as a query parameter appended to the endpoint URL. The Pipedrive API is stateless - every request is validated against this token independently.

Store the token as an environment variable in your script or automation tool. Never hardcode it in version-controlled files. In n8n or Zapier, store it as a credential so it is encrypted at rest.

Your ScraperCity API key is available at app.scrapercity.com/dashboard/api-docs. All requests use Bearer token authentication in the Authorization header. Plans start at $49/mo and all include access to all 25 scrapers.

export SCRAPERCITY_KEY="your_scrapercity_key_here"
export PIPEDRIVE_TOKEN="your_pipedrive_api_token_here"

Query any ScraperCity endpoint to get your lead data. The example below uses the Lead Database (requires the $649/mo plan) for instant results. For Apollo scrapes, replace the endpoint and expect 11-48 hours for delivery. Google Maps scrapes complete in 5-30 minutes.

# Lead Database - instant, 3M+ B2B contacts, $649/mo plan required
curl -X GET "https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/database/leads?title=Sales%20Director&industry=financial%20services&hasEmail=true&limit=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_KEY"

# Apollo scrape - $0.0039/lead, 11-48+ hours delivery
curl -X POST "https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/apollo/scrape" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "VP of Engineering", "industry": "SaaS", "location": "United States", "limit": 100}'

# Google Maps - $0.01/place, 5-30 min delivery
curl -X POST "https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/maps/scrape" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "digital marketing agency", "location": "Austin TX", "limit": 50}'

For async scrapers (Apollo, Google Maps), poll the job status using GET /api/v1/status/{runId} or set up a webhook at app.scrapercity.com/dashboard/webhooks to receive a notification when results are ready. Once ready, download with GET /api/v1/download/{runId}.

Before creating a person, create the company as a Pipedrive organization. Save the returned id - you will use it as org_id on the person and deal. Persons can be associated with organizations so that each organization can contain one or more persons.

curl -X POST "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/organizations?api_token=$PIPEDRIVE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Acme Corp",
    "address": "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701",
    "visible_to": 3
  }'

# Response includes: { "data": { "id": 99, "name": "Acme Corp", ... } }
# Save data.id as ORG_ID for next steps

POST each lead as a Pipedrive person. Pass the org_id from the previous step to link the contact to their company. Email and phone are arrays - set primary: true on the first entry.

curl -X POST "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons?api_token=$PIPEDRIVE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Jane Smith",
    "email": [{"value": "[email protected]", "primary": true}],
    "phone": [{"value": "+15551234567", "primary": true}],
    "org_id": 99,
    "visible_to": 3
  }'

# Response includes: { "data": { "id": 12345, "name": "Jane Smith", ... } }
# Save data.id as PERSON_ID for the deal step

Link each person to a deal in your target pipeline. The title field is the only required parameter. Set pipeline_id and stage_id to control where the deal appears. Find your pipeline and stage IDs by calling GET /v1/pipelines and GET /v1/stages with your token.

curl -X POST "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/deals?api_token=$PIPEDRIVE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Jane Smith - Acme Corp",
    "person_id": 12345,
    "org_id": 99,
    "pipeline_id": 1,
    "stage_id": 1,
    "status": "open",
    "expected_close_date": "2025-03-31"
  }'

If you prefer not to write code, you can wire this entire flow together without a single line of scripting. Both n8n and Zapier have native Pipedrive nodes that cover person and deal creation.

Using n8n:

1. Add a Schedule Trigger node (e.g., every morning at 7am)
2. Add an HTTP Request node - GET the ScraperCity Lead Database or poll a completed Apollo run
3. Add a Split In Batches node to process one lead at a time
4. Add a Pipedrive node set to "Create Organization" - map companyName to name
5. Add a second Pipedrive node set to "Create Person" - map name, email, phone, and org_id from previous step
6. Add a third Pipedrive node set to "Create Deal" - map person_id and set your pipeline and stage

Using Zapier:

1. Trigger: Schedule by Zapier (daily) or Webhooks by Zapier (on ScraperCity completion webhook)
2. Action 1: Webhooks by Zapier - GET ScraperCity results
3. Action 2: Pipedrive - Create Organization
4. Action 3: Pipedrive - Create Person (use org id from step 2)
5. Action 4: Pipedrive - Create Deal (use person id from step 3)
