Pinterest Data Extractor

Collect source-backed Pinterest Pins, profiles, boards, search results, and public comments in one dataset. Choose a focused mode or mix public URLs, follow large feeds progressively, and receive the maximum information Pinterest publishes without requiring a Pinterest login.

What this actor does

• Multiple modes: searches Pins/videos, resolves Pins, profiles, boards, board Pins, creator Pins, creator boards, comments, and mixed URLs.
• Convenient inputs: accepts keywords, Pin IDs, Pin URLs, usernames, profile URLs, board URLs, and aliases.
• Source-backed filtering: filters by saves, creator followers, verification, links, media, ads, and shopping data.
• Large exports: follows Pinterest cursors, removes duplicate Pins, and pushes rows progressively.
• Truthful output: preserves published zeroes and false values while omitting unavailable data.

FAQ

Do I need Pinterest cookies?

No. Public records are collected without login cookies. Optional cookies are accepted for a permitted Cookie-Editor export.

Can I request more than 10,000 rows?

Yes. maxItems supports large exports, pagination is incremental, and the actor does not hold all rows until the end. The result can still be smaller when Pinterest's public source is exhausted.

Why is a field missing from one Pin?

Pinterest does not publish every field for every Pin, account, board, or media type. Missing values are omitted rather than inferred.

Why did a private or deleted page return no row?

The actor only emits identity and values received from Pinterest's public page or resource response. It does not fabricate a row for an inaccessible object.

Are save and like counts estimates?

No. Counts are copied from Pinterest's published response. A zero count is preserved when Pinterest explicitly returns zero.

Can I combine Pin, profile, and board links?

Yes. Use auto with startUrls, or select a specific mode for one kind of output.

Can I download image or video files here?

This actor returns Pinterest media URLs and metadata. Use Pinterest Media Downloader when you need files in a key-value store.

Does commerceOnly classify text as a product?

No. It keeps records with Pinterest-provided product or shopping data only.
