Pinterest Search Scraper

Pinterest pin search as clean JSON. Give it one or more search terms and get every pin Pinterest ranks for them: title, description, full-size image, destination link, the pinner and the board. It calls the same JSON endpoint the Pinterest website uses, with no browser and no login, so it is fast and cheap to run.

What you get

One record per pin, in the order Pinterest ranks them for the term. Pins are not repeated within a search term.

• Content: title, description, altText, keywords (Pinterest's own topic labels for the pin), createdAt.
• Image: imageUrl (original size), imageWidth, imageHeight, dominantColor.
• Destination: link and domain of the site the pin points to (null for pins uploaded straight to Pinterest).
• Who: pinner (username, full name, followers, profile URL) and board (name, pin count, URL).
• Signals: reactions (total reactions), isVideo, isPromoted, and position in the results.

Input

Field	Type	Description
queries	string[]	Search terms. Each is paged on its own.
maxItems	integer	Maximum pins per search term (1 to 1000). Default 100.

Example:

{
    "queries": ["kitchen ideas", "easy chicken recipe"],
    "maxItems": 100
}

Notes

• Only the pins visible to a logged-out visitor are collected. Private boards and anything behind a login are out of reach.
• Pinterest serves roughly 1,000 pins per search term (measured: 995, 834 and 981 pins for three common terms). The actor stops when Pinterest stops returning results and returns what it got.
• You pay per pin returned. If Pinterest blocks a request, the actor retries on a fresh IP and, from the third attempt, through a residential proxy.
• Pinterest does not show save counts in search results, so they are not included.

Pricing

Pay per event: USD 0.002 per pin (USD 2 per 1,000 pins). The default input (one search term, up to 100 pins) costs about USD 0.20. Lower maxItems for a cheaper test run. Apify platform usage is included in the price.

Use cases

• Trend and content research: see which pins Pinterest ranks for a niche or a product.
• Affiliate and e-commerce research: which domains and boards get the most reactions for a term.
• Image datasets: original-size image URLs with titles and topic labels.
• Competitor monitoring: schedule the actor and track how rankings change over time.

FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest account or a proxy? No. You only provide search terms.

How many pins per term? Pinterest returns around 1,000 pins per search term, so maxItems is capped at 1,000.

Are saves included? No. Pinterest does not show saves in search results; reactions is the engagement count it does show.

Can I call it from my own code? Yes, through the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, and with integrations such as Make, Zapier or n8n.
