📌 Pinterest Scraper: Boards, Profiles, Search and Pin Details

Returns Pinterest pins by keyword, from boards, from whole profiles or by pin link. One row per pin: title, description, original image, video file, destination link, saves, creator and board. It reads every pin of a profile and a search to its end, without a Pinterest login and without a browser.

Price: $1.50 per 1,000 pins on the Apify Free plan. Until October 18, 2026 a run also costs a start fee of $0.005; from October 19 the start fee is Apify's standard $0.00005 and the price from Gold up falls to $1.05 per 1,000. Details, videos and filters cost nothing extra. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🔎 What is the Pinterest Scraper?

It calls the data requests Pinterest's own pages make, so no browser runs and 512 MB of memory is enough. A board of 25 pins takes six seconds; a profile's first 250 pins, a board of 99 and a single pin together took ten.

Four things can be read, in any mix in one run:

• A search: the pins Pinterest shows for a keyword, up to its end after about 900 pins.
• A board: all pins of a public board, with the board's own data on every row.
• A profile: every pin of an account, newest first. NASA's profile gave 7,314 pins in 77 seconds from our own server before the test was stopped.
• A pin: one pin by its link, with saves, comments, shares and repins.

What data does it extract?

• Pin: id, link, title, description, alt text, dominant colour, creation date
• Media: the original image with width and height, and for video pins a playable MP4 file
• Destination: the link the pin leads to and its domain
• Engagement: saves, reactions, and with details comments, shares and repins
• Creator: id, username, name, profile link, followers; the account that saved the copy found
• Board: id, name, link, and for board runs description, pin count, followers, sections, cover image and owner

What users of Pinterest scrapers report, and what this Actor does

Reported on other Pinterest Actors	Here
"I need 1,000 pins but it only gives me 17", "only getting 100 results"	A search is read to Pinterest's end (928 pins for "home office ideas"), a profile to its last pin; the status message says when Pinterest has no more
"Only seeing 236x image links"	image_url is the original file on i.pinimg.com/originals/
"Pin detail responses are missing the videos field"	video_url is the widest MP4 of a video pin
"Getting 0 results with errors", "reporting success but no results"	A profile or board that does not exist is named in the status message; the run still succeeds and charges nothing for it
"Just getting one result on scrapes of profiles"	A profile link returns the profile's pins, up to 10,000

source names the search, board, profile or pin the row belongs to, rank its position there. The board counts (board_pin_count, followers, sections) are filled for board runs; a search or profile row has the board's name and link. The run also writes a SUMMARY record with pins per target and Pinterest's own pin count for boards and profiles.

⏱️ Measured on Apify (October 4, 2026)

Run	Pins	Time
Sample input: one board	25	6 s
One search with details	150	17 s
A profile's first 250 pins, a board, one pin and a profile that does not exist	350	10 s

A search of 300 pins with details that was aborted after 13 seconds and resurrected ended with 300 rows, none of them twice. All at 512 MB; the runs used under 100 MB. From our own server a search was read to its end (928 pins) in 51 seconds.

🤖 For AI agents

Smallest useful call:

{"queries": ["home office ideas"], "maxResultsPerBoard": 25}

Each row is one pin with title, description, image_url, destination_url, save_count, creator_username and url. queries, urls and boardUrls take several entries. A target that does not exist returns no rows; the status message names it. No credentials are needed.

💡 Use cases

• 🎨 Trend and content research: what Pinterest shows for a keyword, with links and engagement.
• 🛍️ Product and competitor tracking: every pin of a brand's profile with its destination links.
• 🧠 Image datasets: original image files with titles, alt texts and dominant colours.
• 📈 Board audits: all pins of a board with saves, for your own boards or a competitor's.

⚠️ Limits, stated plainly

• Pinterest ends a search after about 900 pins. That is Pinterest's own end, not a setting.
• Search and profile pins come without comment, share and repin counts. Turn on includeDetails for them; a profile pin already has its saves, a board pin saves and repins.
• Board pins have no creation date. Pinterest does not send one in board lists; includeDetails does not apply to boards.
• Pins only. Lists of a profile's boards, followers and comment texts are not returned.
• Short links (pin.it/…) are not followed. Use the full link.
• Public content only. Secret boards and anything behind a login are not read.
• Tested from Apify up to 350 pins in one run and from our own server up to 7,314; larger runs work the same way but were not measured on Apify.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest account or cookies? No.

How many pins can I get? Up to 10,000 per board, profile and search. A search ends at Pinterest's own limit of about 900.

What changed for users of the earlier version? Board runs return the same fields under the same names, with nine new ones added. New are searches, profiles, pin links and details. maxPagesPerBoard is still read: a saved input with 20 pages keeps its limit of 500 pins. The Actor needs 512 MB instead of 4 GB.

Can I get the video of a video pin? Yes: video_url is an MP4 file.

How do I call it from code? With the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients; every run returns a dataset you can fetch as JSON or CSV. It also works as a tool through Apify's MCP server.

Is it legal? The Actor reads public pins. Pins carry usernames and images that belong to their creators: copyright applies to how you use the images, GDPR, CCPA and similar rules to personal data, and Pinterest's terms apply to you as well.
