Pinterest Search Scraper takes a keyword and returns the Pinterest pins that come up for it: title, description, full-size image, video, the website the pin links to, reactions, date, the pinner and the board. It is a Pinterest scraper for marketers, e-commerce sellers, bloggers and trend researchers who want to see what wins on Pinterest for a niche. Use it to export Pinterest search results to Excel, CSV or JSON, or to download Pinterest image links in bulk, with no login.

What does Pinterest Search Scraper do?

You give it one or more search terms. For each one, the scraper runs the same pin search you would run on pinterest.com, reads the results page after page, and saves each pin as one row until it reaches your limit or the end of the results. Ads (promoted pins) are left out by default.

It accepts these forms, mixed in the same list:

Input form	Example
Keyword	home decor ideas
Pinterest search URL	https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=keto%20recipes

From a search URL the scraper takes the q value, so https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=keto%20recipes and keto recipes run the same search. Identical lines are searched once.

Each row holds the pin itself (ID, link, title, description, alt text, creation date, rank in the results), its media (original image with width, height and dominant color, and the video link and length for video pins), where it sends people (outbound link and domain), how people reacted (total reactions), who saved it (pinner username, name, followers and profile link) and where (board name, link and number of pins), plus flags for promoted and product pins. You do not need a Pinterest account, cookies or an API key.

  "skipPromoted": true,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output example

A real row from the latest run. The pinner is a private person, so the username and name are replaced with example_user; the description and link are shortened:

  "position": 1,
  "pinId": "225039312627881892",
  "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/225039312627881892/",

  "query": "home decor ideas",
  "error": "Pinterest did not answer"
}

How much does it cost?

Pinterest Search Scraper uses pay per event pricing. You pay $2.00 per 1,000 pins returned ($0.002 per pin) on the Free plan. Platform usage (compute and proxy) is included in that price.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 pins
Free	$2.00
Bronze (10% off)	$1.80
Silver (20% off)	$1.60
Gold and higher (30% off)	$1.40

Worked examples on the Free plan:

• 1 keyword with the default 50 pins = $0.10
• 10 keywords × 500 pins = 5,000 pins = $10.00
• 10 keywords × 100 pins every month for a year = 12,000 pins = $24.00 ($16.80 on Gold)

What you are not charged for:

• Error rows ("Pinterest did not answer").
• Ads, when Skip promoted pins is on (the default). If you turn it off, ads are returned and charged like any other pin.
• Duplicate pins inside the same search, and results that are not pins.
• The search result pages themselves. Only the pin rows count.

Use cases

• Trend research. See which ideas, styles and products come up first for a keyword in decor, recipes, fashion, weddings or travel.
• Traffic sources. Group pins by domain to see which websites and shops get Pinterest traffic for a keyword.
• Product research. Filter isProduct pins and their outbound links to find the products and stores people save.
• Content planning. Collect pin titles and descriptions that rank for your keywords, as ideas for your own pins, blog posts and SEO.
• Image reference boards. Get original image links with size and dominant color for mood boards and design references.
• Creator and board discovery. Find active pinners and boards in a niche by pinnerFollowers and boardPinCount for partnerships.
• Video pin research. Filter isVideo to see which topics use video and how long those videos are.

Tips and limits

• How deep you can go. maxPinsPerQuery accepts up to 5,000, but a search ends when Pinterest has no more results, or after 3 result pages in a row that bring no new pins. Broad keywords go deeper than very specific ones.
• Positions skip ads. With ads skipped, position counts only the pins you get, 1, 2, 3 and so on, in the order Pinterest returned them.
• Video links. videoUrl is an MP4 file when Pinterest offers one; otherwise it is a streaming link (often .m3u8), which needs a player or a tool such as ffmpeg to download.
• Empty links. link and domain are null when the pin was uploaded without a website. title and description are null when the pinner left them empty.
• Pinner is who saved the pin. The pinner is the account that saved this pin, not always the creator of the image or the website owner.
• Retries. Each results page gets up to 6 tries with a 30-second timeout. If Pinterest stops answering after some pins, you keep those pins. If it never answers for a search, you get one error row for it.
• Search only. The input is search terms. Board URLs, profile URLs and single pin URLs are not supported; a Pinterest link without a q value produces no row.
• Pins shared by searches. Duplicates are removed inside each search only. A pin that comes up for two search terms is returned, and charged, once per search; use pinId to dedupe across searches.

Use it from the API, Python or JavaScript

JavaScript (Node.js) with the official apify-client package:

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const input = { queries: ['home decor ideas', 'keto recipes'], maxPinsPerQuery: 100 };

(async () => {
    const run = await client.actor('juliob.rangel/pinterest-search-scraper-fast').call(input);
    const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
    console.log(items);
})();

Python with the official apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
run_input = {'queries': ['wedding dress'], 'maxPinsPerQuery': 300, 'skipPromoted': True}

run = client.actor('juliob.rangel/pinterest-search-scraper-fast').call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
for item in items:
    print(item.get('position'), item.get('title'), item.get('domain'), item.get('imageUrl'))

The scraper also works with Make, Zapier and n8n, can export results to Google Sheets, can call your webhook when a run finishes, and can be used by AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest login, cookies or an API key?

No. The scraper uses Pinterest's public search without logging in. You only need an Apify account to run it.

Can I export Pinterest pins to Excel or CSV?

Yes. After the run, open the Output tab and export the dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML, or read it through the API.

How many pins can I get per search?

Up to 5,000 with maxPinsPerQuery, as long as Pinterest keeps returning new pins for that keyword.

Can I download the images?

The scraper gives you the original image link (imageUrl) of each pin. Download them with any bulk downloader or a short script. Respect the image owners' rights when you reuse them.

Is it legal to scrape Pinterest?

The scraper only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Pinterest's terms, copyright of the images, and privacy laws such as GDPR and LGPD. Pinner names and usernames can be personal data, so you need a legitimate reason to collect and use them.

Why did I get a row with an error field?

Pinterest did not answer the search after 6 tries and no pin was collected for it. Error rows are not charged. Run the search again later.

Why are there no ads in my results?

Skip promoted pins (ads) is on by default. Turn it off to include promoted pins; they come with isPromoted set to true.
