Pinterest Comments

Collect public Pinterest comments and Pin activity from one or many Pins. Get a Pin summary together with public comments, replies, reactions, helpful votes, authors, and attached media when Pinterest publishes them. The actor works without Pinterest login cookies and omits values that are not present in the public response.

What this actor does

• Pin summaries: returns the public Pin, creator, board, media, link, and engagement context.
• Comments and activity: collects public comments, replies, reactions, helpful votes, and activity such as Tried It when exposed.
• Flexible inputs: accepts Pin URLs, numeric Pin IDs, and aliases for convenient workflows.
• Large lists: processes Pins one at a time and emits completed rows progressively.
• Truthful output: preserves published zeroes and false values while omitting unavailable data.

Output per record

Each row includes recordType, sourceUrl, and scrapedAt. The dataset contains one pinCommentsSummary row per accessible Pin, followed by zero or more comment/activity rows.

Pin summary fields

Summary rows can include recordType, pinId, pinUrl, aggregatedPinId, commentCount, commentsDisabled, commentsEligible, saveCount, reactionCounts, title, description, createdAt, imageUrl, videoUrl, linkUrl, linkDomain, creator, board, isPromoted, and isShoppable.

The nested creator object can include id, username, fullName, followerCount, and avatarUrl. The nested board object can include id, name, and url.

Comment and activity fields

Comment rows can include recordType, activityType, pinId, pinUrl, commentId, nodeId, text, details, createdAt, likeCount, reactionCounts, reactionByMe, helpfulCount, markedHelpfulByMe, replyCount, isEdited, isHighlightedByPinOwner, isTranslatable, tags, taggedUsers, media, author, sourceUrl, and scrapedAt.

The nested author object can include id, nodeId, username, firstName, fullName, avatarUrl, isPrivateProfile, and type.

Missing Pinterest values are omitted. Explicit zero counts and false flags remain available when Pinterest publishes them.

FAQ

Do I need to sign in to Pinterest?

No. The actor uses public signed-out responses and does not require cookies.

Why did I receive a summary but no comments?

The Pin may have no public comments, comments may be disabled, Pinterest may withhold activity from signed-out viewers, or the public response may expose only the summary. The actor never replaces that result with fabricated rows.

Can I request 10,000 comments for one Pin?

The input accepts large limits and records are emitted as they are found. Pinterest generally publishes a much smaller public page for an individual Pin, so the actual count is source-bounded.

Are private commenters exposed?

Only fields Pinterest publishes in the public response are included. Private profile indicators may be present, but private profile data is not inferred.

Does likeCount mean total Pinterest reactions?

It is the reaction type Pinterest publishes for the comment. The complete published breakdown is available in reactionCounts when supplied.

Can I pass IDs instead of links?

Yes. Numeric Pin IDs are accepted by all three URL fields.

Can I download attached comment media?

The media field is returned when Pinterest publishes it. Use Pinterest Media Downloader for Pin-level image/video files.

What does an omitted field mean?

Pinterest did not publish that value for the object or public session. It does not mean the actor guessed zero.
