What is the Pinterest Video Scraper?

The Pinterest Video Scraper is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from Pinterest video pins. Pinterest has quietly become a major short-form video platform (especially in lifestyle, DIY, fashion, food niches). This scraper accepts a list of pin URLs and returns title, duration, video dimensions (width/height), uploader, upload date, formats available (MP4, HLS), thumbnail.

Image pins are not supported by this actor — only video pins. For images, a separate downloader is needed.

FAQ — Pinterest API alternatives

Pinterest official API alternative? The official Pinterest API requires Business account approval, has limited bulk access, and excludes some fields. This scraper has no auth, no quota.

Why only video pins? Image pins are radically different in structure and use case (search, save, click-out). This actor is purpose-built for the video pin format.

Does it scrape boards or user pages? Single-pin URLs only in v1. Board/user expansion is on the roadmap — DM if you need it sooner.

Cookie required? Not for public pins. Some private boards require cookie auth.
