Pinterest Scraper

Scrape Pinterest pins, videos, boards and profiles:

• Search: pins for any keyword, as on Pinterest's search page, or video pins only.
• Profiles: a profile's followers, following, pins, boards and monthly views, then the pins it created, newest first.
• Boards: a board's pin and follower counts, then its pins.
• Pins: single pin URLs, with all their details.

Every pin comes with its title, description, alt text, full-size image, outbound link and domain, date, reactions, and its pinner (with followers) and board. Turn on Include saves, comments and MP4 to add each pin's saves, repins, shares, comments, hashtags and the video as an MP4 file. With full-size image and MP4 links it doubles as a Pinterest image and video downloader.

It needs no browser and no login, and it is fast: 90 pins, a profile and a board took 7 seconds; 200 pins with all their details took 23. It costs $1 per 1,000 pins.

What people use it for

• Trend and product research: what gets saved in a niche, and which shops' products it links to.
• Marketing and competitors: a brand's or a competitor's pins, boards and audience.
• Influencer lists: pinners in a niche, ranked by followers and monthly views.
• Images and videos for AI: full-size images with alt text, and MP4 videos, by keyword.

}

A board has its name, description, category, pins, followers, sections and owner.

Use it as an API

One call runs it and returns the results as JSON (for runs under 5 minutes; longer ones start a run and read its dataset). Apify's Python and JavaScript clients, and its Make, Zapier and n8n integrations, work the same way.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/innocent_archipelago~pinterest/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries": ["minimalist kitchen"], "urls": ["marthastewart"], "maxPinsPerSource": 5}'

Pricing

You pay $0.001 per pin, details included, which is $1 per 1,000. Profiles and boards cost $0.002 each. Runs that go through Apify's residential proxy also pay its traffic, $0.0012 per 100 KB. There are no monthly fees.

Good to know

• Without details, saves, repins, shares, comments and hashtags are empty, and a video pin's videoUrl is an HLS stream (.m3u8) rather than an MP4.
• link and domain are empty for pins uploaded straight to Pinterest.
