❓ FAQ

Can I search multiple queries in one run?

Yes. The queries field accepts an array. Each query is processed sequentially and results are tagged with the search_query field.

How many results can I get per query?

The default is 20 pins per query. You can increase this with the maxResults field (e.g. 50, 100, 250). Note that Pinterest may limit the number of available results for certain queries.

Can I use multiple proxies?

Yes. The proxy field accepts an array of proxy URLs. Proxies are rotated round-robin across queries to help avoid rate limiting.

Does this require a Pinterest account or API key?

No. The scraper uses Pinterest's public search API — no login or API key needed.

Is it legal to scrape Pinterest?

This scraper only extracts publicly available data. It does not access any data behind authentication. However, scraped results could contain personal data protected by GDPR and other regulations. Ensure you have a legitimate reason for scraping and consult legal counsel if unsure. See also Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
