Pinterest Scraper
Pinterest Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts Pinterest pins, pin comments, comment replies, idea pages, boards and user profiles from pin, idea, board, user and search URLs or a search keyword. Full pin details cost $0.0031 per pin, or $3.10 per 1,000 pins.
The Pinterest Scraper runs 9 query types, accepts 9 input fields, returns 56 pin fields, 28 pin summary fields and 32 user fields, bills through 10 charge events and reports 25 error codes. Every price on this page is a pay-per-event charge.
What Does the Pinterest Scraper Extract?
The Pinterest Scraper extracts 9 query types: 6 run directly from an input, and 3 (pin comments, comment replies and user collections) attach nested data to pin and user items. The Pinterest Scraper calls a Pinterest board a collection in its input and output, so "board" and "collection" name the same entity on this page.
| Query type | What the Pinterest Scraper returns |
|---|---|
| Pin | Full details of a single pin: title, description, images, owner, board, engagement counts and SEO data. |
| Pin comments | Comments on a pin, nested inside the pin item when includeComments is true. |
| Comment replies | Replies to pin comments, nested under each comment when includeCommentReplies is true. |
| Search | Pins that match a keyword search. |
| Idea | Pins listed on a Pinterest idea page. |
| Collection | Pins saved in a user's board. |
| User profile | A user's profile: name, bio, website, follower and following counts, pin and board counts. |
| User pins | URLs of the pins created by the user, nested inside the user item. |
| User collections | The user's boards with name, URL, pin count and dates, nested inside the user item. |
Which Pinterest URLs Does the Pinterest Scraper Accept?
The Pinterest Scraper accepts 2 input sources: the startUrls list and the search keyword. startUrls takes 5 URL forms, and each URL form maps to one query type.
- Pin URL
/pin/{id}/, such ashttps://www.pinterest.com/pin/1054827543951238554/, runs the pin query. - Idea URL
/ideas/{name}/{id}/, such ashttps://www.pinterest.com/ideas/beauty/935541271955/, runs the idea query. Hyphens in{name}are read as spaces. - Board URL
/{username}/{collection}/, such ashttps://www.pinterest.com/dudadelsanto/nail-inspo/, runs the collection query. - User URL
/{username}/, such ashttps://www.pinterest.com/dudadelsanto/, runs the user profile query./{username}/_savedand/{username}/_createdresolve to the same user profile query. - Search URL
/search/pins/?q={keyword}, such ashttps://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=nail%20art, runs the search query. Theqparameter must be non-empty.
The search field runs the same search query from a plain keyword, without a URL. The Pinterest Scraper accepts any http or https host whose name contains a pinterest label, so tr.pinterest.com and www.pinterest.com resolve identically.
Who Uses the Pinterest Scraper?
Listed below are the 6 roles that run the Pinterest Scraper against Pinterest data.
- Social media analysts track pin engagement through
repin_count,like_count,share_count,favorite_user_countandcomment_count. - Ecommerce and brand teams monitor pins that link to their domain through
domain,link,seo_titleandseo_description. - Influencer marketers qualify Pinterest creators through the user item's
follower_count,following_count,pin_count,board_countandis_verified_merchant. - Content strategists read idea pages and keyword searches for
grid_title,description,alt_text,categoryanddominant_color. - Community and sentiment researchers collect pin comments and replies with
comments[].content,comments[].like_count,comments[].reply_countandcomments[].replies[]. - Data engineers feed Pinterest boards into pipelines through the user item's
collections[]array, withpinsCount,followerCount,createdAtandupdatedAtper board.
Each of these roles pays per event, so the cost of a Pinterest Scraper run follows directly from which query types it runs and how many pages it fetches.
What Does the Pinterest Scraper Cost?
The Pinterest Scraper charges 10 event types. A full pin costs $0.003 for pin-detail plus $0.0001 for dataset-item, or $0.0031, and a pin summary from a search, idea or board page costs $0.0001 per pin after the query charge.
The rate card below lists all 10 Pinterest Scraper charge events.
| Query type | Charge event | Price |
|---|---|---|
Pin (start URL, or every pin fetched with getDetails) | pin-detail | $0.003 |
| Search | search-pins | $0.0015 |
| Idea | idea-pins | $0.0015 |
| Collection | board-pins | $0.0025 |
| User profile | user-profile | $0.003 |
| User pins (per page) | user-pins | $0.004 |
| User collections (per page) | user-boards | $0.0025 |
| Pin comments (per page) | pin-comments | $0.001 |
| Comment replies (per page) | comment-replies | $0.002 |
| Every returned item | dataset-item | $0.0001 |
The Pinterest Scraper applies 4 billing rules on top of the rate card:
- Query charges are taken at start.
pin-detailfor pin URLs,search-pins,idea-pins,board-pinsanduser-profileare charged once per query when the run starts, before the first request. - Search, idea and board pagination is not charged per page. Later pages of a search, idea or collection query add only
dataset-itemcharges, pluspin-detailper pin whengetDetailsistrue. - User pins, user collections, comments and replies are charged per page.
user-pins,user-boards,pin-commentsandcomment-repliesfire once for every page fetched. dataset-itemis waived for paying users on items from the first results page of search, idea and collection queries whengetDetailsisfalse.
Pinterest Scraper Cost Examples
The table below prices 6 Pinterest Scraper scenarios against the rate card above. Page sizes are set by Pinterest, so the scenarios state page counts and item counts rather than a page size.
| Scenario | Charge events | Calculation | Total cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 pin URL | pin-detail, dataset-item | $0.003 + $0.0001 | $0.0031 |
| 1 pin URL with 1 comment page | pin-detail, pin-comments, dataset-item | $0.003 + $0.001 + $0.0001 | $0.0041 |
| 1 pin URL with 1 comment page and 1 reply page for 2 comments | pin-detail, pin-comments, 2 x comment-replies, dataset-item | $0.003 + $0.001 + 2 x $0.002 + $0.0001 | $0.0081 |
1 search returning 100 pins, getDetails true | search-pins, 100 x pin-detail, 100 x dataset-item | $0.0015 + 100 x $0.0031 | $0.3115 |
1 search returning 100 pins, getDetails false, non-paying user | search-pins, 100 x dataset-item | $0.0015 + 100 x $0.0001 | $0.0115 |
| 1 user URL with 1 page of pins and 1 page of boards | user-profile, user-pins, user-boards, dataset-item | $0.003 + $0.004 + $0.0025 + $0.0001 | $0.0096 |
Pinterest Scraper Unit Economics
The 6 figures below are derived from the rate card above. Per-pin figures exclude the one-time query charge of the search, idea or collection that found the pin.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost per full pin, including its dataset item | $0.0031 |
| Cost per 1,000 full pins | $3.10 |
| Full pins per $1 | 322 |
Cost per 1,000 pin summaries (getDetails false) | $0.10 |
Cost per user profile only (includeUserInfoOnly true) | $0.0031 |
Ratio between user-pins ($0.004) and dataset-item ($0.0001) | 40 to 1 |
How Is the Pinterest Scraper Configured?
The Pinterest Scraper exposes 9 input fields: 2 sources, 4 boolean switches, 2 volume limits and 1 output transform.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
startUrls | array | none | Pinterest URLs to start with: pin, idea, board, user or search URLs. |
search | string | none | Keyword to search pins on Pinterest. |
getDetails | boolean | true | Fetches full details of every pin found in search, idea and collection results. false returns only the summary data of the list results. |
includeComments | boolean | false | Includes comments for pins from pin URLs and pins fetched with getDetails. |
includeCommentReplies | boolean | false | Includes replies for comments that have replies. Requires includeComments. |
includeUserInfoOnly | boolean | false | Returns only the user profile for user URLs, without the user's pins and boards. |
maxItems | integer | all items | Maximum number of items in the output. |
endPage | integer | no limit | Last page to fetch, applied individually to every search, start URL, user pins list and user collections list. |
customMapFunction | string | none | Single synchronous function that receives each output item and returns the transformed item. Not for filtering. |
Which Input Rules Does the Pinterest Scraper Enforce?
The Pinterest Scraper enforces 12 usage constraints covering sources, URL forms, nesting, item size, cost limits and the map function.
| Rule | Behavior |
|---|---|
At least one of startUrls or search must be provided. | The run fails immediately when both are empty. |
Start URLs must use http or https and a Pinterest domain. | Other URLs are skipped with an Invalid URL warning. |
Supported URL forms are /pin/{id}, /ideas/{name}/{id}, /search/...?q={keyword}, /{username}/{collection} and /{username}. | Any other Pinterest URL is skipped with an Unsupported URL warning. |
/{username}/_saved and /{username}/_created are treated as the user profile URL. | They resolve to the same user profile query. |
A search URL must contain a non-empty q parameter. | Search URLs without a query are skipped with a warning. |
includeCommentReplies only works when includeComments is true. | Replies are fetched while collecting comments, and only for comments with at least one reply. |
| User pins are returned as URLs. | User pins are not expanded with getDetails or comments. Pin details and comments are fetched only for pin, search, idea and collection queries. |
| Comments and replies of one pin are capped at 4 MB. | The cap keeps a single dataset item under the platform item size limit. Comment collection stops once it is reached. |
| The query charges at start must fit the maximum cost per run. | The run exits before fetching anything when the start charges exceed the limit. Non-paying users are charged 10 dataset-item events in that case. |
The run stops when maxItems or the maximum cost per run is reached. | Remaining queued requests are cleared. |
maxItems applies to paid-tier runs. | Free-tier runs use the item limit of the free tier. |
customMapFunction cannot contain date operations (new Date, Date.now, 1970) and cannot be async or a generator. | The function is rejected with a warning and the original items are saved. A function that throws or returns a non-object is also rejected for the rest of the run. |
How Do You Scrape Pinterest Search Results with the Pinterest Scraper?
The Pinterest Scraper runs a keyword search from the search field or from a search URL in startUrls. The input below fetches 2 pages of search results as full pins with comments, and stops at 100 items.
{"search": "nail art","getDetails": true,"includeComments": true,"endPage": 2,"maxItems": 100}
Setting getDetails to false returns pin summaries instead, which removes the pin-detail charge per pin.
How Do You Scrape Pinterest Boards and Idea Pages with the Pinterest Scraper?
The Pinterest Scraper reads board and idea URLs from startUrls and paginates each one until endPage. The input below returns pin summaries for 1 board and 1 idea page, 3 pages each.
{"startUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/dudadelsanto/nail-inspo/","https://www.pinterest.com/ideas/beauty/935541271955/"],"getDetails": false,"endPage": 3}
How Do You Scrape Pinterest User Profiles with the Pinterest Scraper?
The Pinterest Scraper returns one user item per user URL, with the user's pin URLs and boards nested inside it. The input below returns 2 profiles without pins or boards, which charges user-profile and dataset-item only.
{"startUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/dudadelsanto/","https://www.pinterest.com/example_user/_saved"],"includeUserInfoOnly": true}
Setting includeUserInfoOnly to false adds the pins and collections arrays, fetched page by page up to endPage.
How Do You Scrape Pinterest Comments and Replies with the Pinterest Scraper?
The Pinterest Scraper attaches comments and replies to the pin item, so a pin URL with both switches on returns one item carrying the full thread. The input below collects comments and replies for 1 pin and reshapes each item with customMapFunction.
{"startUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1054827543951238554/"],"includeComments": true,"includeCommentReplies": true,"customMapFunction": "(object) => { return { id: object.id, url: object.url, comments: object.comments } }"}

Which Pinterest Scraper Questions Come Up Most Often?
Does the Pinterest Scraper return Pinterest boards?
Yes. The Pinterest Scraper returns the pins of a board from a board URL, and the list of a user's boards inside the user item's collections array.
Does the Pinterest Scraper scrape Pinterest comments?
Yes. The Pinterest Scraper nests comments in the pin item when includeComments is true, and nests replies under each comment when includeCommentReplies is also true.
Does the Pinterest Scraper charge for every search results page?
No. The Pinterest Scraper charges search-pins once per search query, and later pages add only dataset-item charges plus pin-detail per pin when getDetails is true.
What is the difference between a pin and a pin summary in the Pinterest Scraper?
A pin summary is the 28-field item the Pinterest Scraper returns from search, idea and board pages when getDetails is false. A full pin is the 56-field item returned for pin URLs and for every list result when getDetails is true.
Does the Pinterest Scraper expand a user's pins into full pin items?
No. The Pinterest Scraper returns a user's pins as URLs in the pins array. Running those URLs through startUrls returns them as full pins.
Which Pinterest domains does the Pinterest Scraper accept?
The Pinterest Scraper accepts any http or https host whose name contains a pinterest label, such as www.pinterest.com and tr.pinterest.com.
How does the Pinterest Scraper limit the number of pages?
The Pinterest Scraper stops each search, start URL, user pins list and user collections list at endPage. Without endPage, the Pinterest Scraper paginates until Pinterest returns an empty page or no next cursor.
Why does the Pinterest Scraper stop collecting comments on a large pin?
The Pinterest Scraper caps the comments and replies of one pin at 4 MB, which keeps the pin under the platform item size limit. The pin is pushed with the comments gathered up to the cap.
Can the Pinterest Scraper filter results with customMapFunction?
No. The Pinterest Scraper uses customMapFunction to transform each item, not to filter. A function that contains date operations, is async or throws is rejected, and the original items are saved.
What happens when a Pinterest Scraper run hits the maximum cost per run?
The Pinterest Scraper stops the run and clears the remaining queued requests. A run whose start charges already exceed the limit exits before fetching anything.
Does the Pinterest Scraper return an item for a Pinterest URL it cannot read?
No. The Pinterest Scraper skips invalid and unsupported URLs with a warning, and skips pins and users that do not exist with error codes C003 and C013.
Where Do You Get Pinterest Scraper Support?
Pinterest Scraper support runs through the actor's Issues tab on Apify. Check the run's Log tab in Apify Console for the error code first, then open an issue with the run link attached.
