Pinterest Scraper

Extract Pinterest pins in bulk by pin URL, keyword, board, or username. No Pinterest account, no API key, and no login required.

The scraper returns a clean, consistent record for every pin: image and video URLs, title, description, outbound link, board, pinner, engagement stats, and creation date.

What it does

Give it any mix of four source types and it walks each one for you, paginating until it reaches your per-source cap:

• Pin detail - hand it a pin URL or ID and get the full pin record.
• Keyword search - search any term and collect matching pins.
• Board pins - point it at a board URL and pull that board's pins.
• User pins - give it a username and pull that profile's pins.

Input

Field	Type	Description
pinUrls	array	Pin links or numeric IDs. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/ or 1234567890.
searchQueries	array	Keywords to search. Example: home office setup.
boardUrls	array	Board links. Example: https://www.pinterest.com/example_user/home-office-ideas/.
usernames	array	Profile handles. Example: example_user.
maxItemsPerSource	integer	Cap on pins per source (per query, board, or username). Default 100.
concurrency	integer	How many sources to scrape in parallel. Default 5.
proxyConfig	object	Apify proxy. RESIDENTIAL is the default and recommended option.

Provide at least one of pinUrls, searchQueries, boardUrls, or usernames.

Output

Each pin is one dataset record with this stable shape:

{
  "ok": true,
  "source": "search",
  "query": "home office setup",
  "id": "1234567890",
  "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/",
  "title": "Sleek desk setup for a modern home office",
  "description": "Compact, stylish workspace inspiration.",
  "imageUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/bb/cc/example.png",
  "videoUrl": null,
  "dominantColor": "#80644e",
  "link": "https://example.com/article",
  "board": { "id": "987654321", "name": "Home office ideas" },
  "pinner": { "username": "example_user", "fullName": "Jane Doe" },
  "stats": { "saves": 42, "comments": 3, "reactions": 12 },
  "createdAt": "2026-05-29T21:04:57.000Z"
}

Every field is always present. Unknown values are null.

Use cases

• Build mood boards and design inspiration datasets from search terms.
• Track a board or profile's pins over time.
• Collect product pins and their outbound links for ecommerce research.
• Analyze visual trends by dominant color, title, and engagement.

Notes

• Pins that cannot be reached are returned with ok: false and a short reason (not_found, upstream_unavailable, upstream_rate_limit, or login_required) so a partial run never silently drops a source.
• RESIDENTIAL proxy is strongly recommended for reliable results at scale.

Pricing

This actor uses pay per event:

• pin - charged per pin returned. No run start fee, you pay only for the pins you get.
