Pinterest Data & API Alternative | Pins, Boards | $1.10 / 1K

Pinterest data export: pins, boards and profiles with full-size image and video URLs

Get Pinterest data as clean rows: pin images at every resolution, video stream URLs when present, title, description, dominant color, publish date and creator, from any public profile, board or single pin. No login, no API key, no browser, no proxy. Switch on incremental mode to collect only the pins published since your last run.

$0.0011 per pin ($1.10 per 1,000), plus a $0.0017 start fee per run.

What people use it for

• Download Pinterest pin images and videos: get 236x, 474x, 736x and original-size image URLs for every pin, and HLS or MP4 URLs for video pins from profiles and boards.
• Pinterest board export: all pins from a public board in one table, with description and source board.
• Track a brand or creator on Pinterest: watch profiles and boards and collect new pins over time with incremental mode.
• Competitor and inspiration research: see what a brand pins, which colors it uses (dominantColor) and how it describes its content.
• Mood boards and asset lists: build a reference sheet of image URLs from boards in your niche.
• Pinterest dataset for AI: pin descriptions and image links for image-text datasets, within the licensing limits of your use.

Why use this instead of the Pinterest API?

Pinterest's official API is built around an approved developer app and OAuth access, and it is mainly meant for working with your own account's boards and pins. This Actor reads what Pinterest shows to a logged-out visitor, so you can look at any public profile or board without an app or token. It does not provide Pinterest's engagement counts (saves, comments) or trends data.

Limits, stated plainly

• About 25 newest pins per profile or board. Anonymous Pinterest pages serve only the newest ~25 pins, and its internal pagination API rejects anonymous requests (tested: 403 Invalid Resource Request). To collect more, add more profiles or boards, or run incremental mode repeatedly. If a source gets more than ~25 new pins between two incremental runs, the older ones are never seen, so schedule runs often for busy accounts.
• No keyword or hashtag search. Search pages load their pins through the same blocked API. Give the Actor a profile, board or pin instead. Other Store Actors cover Pinterest search, listed below.
• Single-pin mode has no video URL. A standalone pin page does not embed video data anonymously, so single pins return all image sizes but no HLS or MP4 link. Video URLs come from profile and board pins.
• No engagement counts, no comments, no related pins.

Incremental mode

Set mode to changes (profiles and boards only). The first run per source takes pins since firstRunSince (30 days by default, all for everything available). Every later run returns only newer pins, tracked in a key-value store in your own account. A run cut short by maxItems still advances the mark safely.

Input

Input	Default	Notes
profiles	none	Usernames or profile URLs, one per line
boards	none	Board URLs or username/board-slug, one per line
pins	none	Pin URLs or numeric pin ids, one per line
mode	all	all or changes (incremental, profiles and boards)
maxItems	100	Cost cap, billed per pin saved
firstRunSince	30 days	changes mode only

At least one of profiles, boards or pins is required.

Example input, a profile:

{ "profiles": ["nasa"], "mode": "all", "maxItems": 25 }

Example input, a board:

{ "boards": ["https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/artemis/"], "maxItems": 25 }

Example input, track new pins from a profile and a board (schedule it):

{ "profiles": ["nasa"], "boards": ["nasa/artemis"], "mode": "changes", "firstRunSince": "30 days" }

Output

One row per pin. Real example (shortened):

Integrations and scheduling

• Apify Schedules: run incremental mode daily, which also works around the ~25 pin ceiling for active accounts.

• Google Sheets: export datasets to a sheet.
• API and clients (JavaScript, Python), and Apify's MCP server for AI agents.
