Pinterest Search Scraper

Turn any Pinterest keyword or pin URL into clean, structured pin data — no login, no browser.

Scrapes Pinterest search results and pin pages without logging in. Get pin titles, descriptions, images, videos, product links, boards and pinners for any keyword. Built for marketers tracking visual trends, e-commerce teams mining product pins, researchers collecting image datasets, and anyone who needs Pinterest data in a spreadsheet instead of an endless scroll.

⚡ Quick start

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=modern%20kitchen" }],
  "searchQueries": ["wedding hairstyles"],
  "maxItems": 5
}

🧩 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	yes	—	Pinterest search URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=<keyword>) or pin URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/<id>/). Any Pinterest country domain works.
searchQueries	array	no	—	Plain keywords to search for. Each keyword is scraped like a search URL and gets its own maxItems budget.
maxItems	integer	no	5	Maximum number of pins per start URL or search query.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Apify proxy settings. Pinterest answers without a proxy; enable one if runs start returning empty pages.

📤 Output

Every pin is pushed to the dataset as one row. Search results and pin pages share the same shape; pins found through a search carry the query they came from, while pins scraped from a pin URL also carry repin_count (the save count), which Pinterest only exposes on the pin page.

• Product discovery — filter is_product pins and their destination_link to find what sells on Pinterest.

• Competitor monitoring — see which boards and pinners own a keyword and how their pins are described.

❓ FAQ

• Do I need a proxy? No. Pinterest answers without one. If your runs start returning empty pages, switch on Apify proxy in proxyConfiguration.
• Do I need a Pinterest account? No. The Actor reads the public search and pin pages only.
• How many results can I get? maxItems caps pins per start URL or search query. Add more keywords to widen coverage.
• Why is repin_count empty? Pinterest only exposes the save count on the pin page, so it is filled for pin URLs and null for search results.
• Why did a run return fewer items than expected? Pinterest may have changed its page format. Open an issue and we will update the Actor.
