Scrape any public Pinterest profile by username — bio, website links, follower count, join date, boards and its most recent pins. Also finds profiles by keyword and enriches each one with the same detail. No login needed. Export to CSV, JSON or Excel, or run via API.
All notable changes to the Pinterest Profile Scraper — Bio, Links & Recent Pins are documented here.
The format follows Keep a Changelog .
[0.0.8] - 2026-07-30
Maintenance build — no change to input, output or pricing.
[0.0.7] - 2026-07-29
Fixed
A row is no longer at risk of being held back because an optional field is missing. The
description of the output carried strict validation rules that a real Pinterest profile does not
always satisfy — no website link, no recent pins — and a row that failed them could be rejected
instead of saved. The rules are gone. Column names, order and contents are unchanged, and the
avatar and pin previews in the Overview tab still work.
Changed
The Storage tab now names the records the run writes instead of showing bare keys.
The Store listing now says what this actor returns — bio, website links, follower count,
join date, boards and recent pins — and the price line shows the per-profile price instead of a
generic label.
[0.0.6] - 2026-07-28
Fixed
The status page now keeps up while a run is going. Its saved copy was only written twice —
once at the start and once at the end — so anyone opening it mid-run saw the run as it looked at
second zero. It now refreshes every ten seconds.
The "Live status" link now works after a run has finished. It pointed at the run's own
container, which the platform shuts down as soon as the run ends, so opening it later showed
nothing. It now opens the saved copy of the page, which stays available for as long as the run's
storage does.
Build 0.0.5 said the status page survived the end of a run. Its saved copy did, but the
link still pointed at the container, so there was still nothing to open. Both halves are in
place from this build.
[0.0.5] - 2026-07-28
Builds 0.0.2–0.0.4 are the same feature set; they only attached the actor's environment variables
and corrected how the live status page is stored.
Fixed
The live status page now survives the end of a run. Its saved copy was being rejected on
every run, so opening Live Status after a run finished led nowhere. The page is stored
correctly from this build on.
[0.0.1] - 2026-07-28
First build.
Added
Mode 1: Get profiles by username. One row per account — bio, every outbound link, primary
website domain, follower count, join date, avatar, board count, last-save date and Pinterest's
verification flags. Accepts a bare handle, an @handle or a full profile link.
Mode 2: Get a profile's recent pins. Up to ten most recent pins per account, one row each,
with pin link, image, title and publish date. Pinterest publishes ten and no more for a public
profile, so this is a recency snapshot rather than an archive.
Mode 3: Find profiles by keyword. Finds the accounts publishing about a topic and then looks
each one up, so every row carries the bio and website links a plain search never returns.
Charged once per profile, never per row. In Mode 2 that single charge covers all ten of that
profile's pins. Usernames that resolve to nothing, lookups that fail, and Mode 3 candidates
dropped before lookup are not charged at all.
Filters:minFollowers, onlyProfilesWithWebsite, websiteDomainContains,
excludeAdsOnlyProfiles. In Mode 3 the follower and ads-only filters run before each account is
looked up, so those two reduce the bill as well as the output.
Primary website domain is picked past the social links. Accounts routinely list Instagram
before their own site; website_domain skips the social platforms so a lead list groups by the
domain that matters.
Free plan looks up 10 profiles per run; every mode, filter and field stays available.
Empty input runs a small sample instead of failing, on any mode.
Storage records:RUN_SUMMARY, USER_MESSAGE, FREE_LIMITS_APPLIED, SKIPPED_ITEMS, plus a
self-refreshing live status page.
USER_MESSAGE covers every empty-run cause — entry that is not a profile link, username with
no public profile, lookup that could not complete, all rows filtered, demo run, free cap reached —
each naming the next action.
Notes
A username that does not exist is asked for twice before the run reports it as missing, so a
momentary upstream stumble is never presented to a customer as "this account does not exist".
Follower and following lists are not available to logged-out visitors on Pinterest and are not
offered here. The follower count is.
Bios arrive HTML-encoded from Pinterest and are decoded before they reach the dataset, so an emoji
in a bio is an emoji rather than 🌿.
