Pinterest Scraper Pro

Collect public Pinterest Pins, creators, boards, Ideas, search results, and activity from one flexible actor. Use focused modes or mix public URLs, receive broad source-backed fields, and export large feeds progressively without a Pinterest login.

What this actor does

• Broad mode coverage: supports Pins, comments, Pin/video/user/board search, profiles, creator Pins/boards, board detail/Pins, Ideas, and automatic URL routing.
• Friendly inputs: accepts public URLs, numeric Pin IDs, usernames, board paths, idea links, search phrases, and aliases.
• Rich records: includes real media variants, creators, boards, links, products, SEO, Story Pins, engagement, and activity fields when exposed.
• Large exports: follows feed cursors, removes duplicate identities, and pushes records during collection.
• Truthful output: keeps published zeroes and false values and omits values Pinterest does not publish.

FAQ

Do I need Pinterest cookies?

No. All public modes are designed to work without login cookies. Optional cookies are accepted for a permitted session.

Can it return more than 10,000 rows?

Yes. Rows are emitted progressively and feed cursors can be followed through the configured page limit. The actor supports large per-run caps; public source availability may end earlier.

Why are filters not returning a guessed row?

Filters require the relevant value or flag from Pinterest. Missing saves, followers, or verification are not converted into a guess.

Does searchVideos download the videos?

It returns Pins and Pinterest media URLs/variants. Use Pinterest Media Downloader when you need saved files.

Does commerceOnly infer products from words?

No. It uses Pinterest product or shopping data only.

Why are some profile counts missing?

Pinterest publishes different profile fields depending on account type and public response. Missing fields are omitted.

Are comments guaranteed for every Pin?

No. Only public comments/activity that Pinterest returns are emitted. The actor does not create placeholder comments.

What happens with a private board?

The private object is skipped unless Pinterest itself returns permitted public data for it.
