Pinterest Data Extractor — Pins, Boards, Profiles & Keywords

Extract structured Pinterest data from any URL or search term in one actor. Paste a pin, board, or profile URL — or a keyword — and the extractor auto-detects the input and returns clean, typed JSON records. Built for marketers, SEO and content researchers, e-commerce teams, and AI agents.

No login. No cookies. Residential-proxy backed. MCP-ready.

What it does

One input → any Pinterest data. The actor classifies each input automatically and returns typed records discriminated by a dataType field:

dataType	From	Key fields
pin	searches, boards, profiles, pin URLs	title, description, download_image_url, download_video_url, save_count, hashtags, link, price, board, creator
board	board URLs	name, description, pin_count, follower_count, section_count, cover image, owner
profile	profile URLs	username, full_name, bio, follower/following/pin/board counts, verified, website
keyword	search terms	query, related_queries, top_pin_ids, result_count

Every pin record includes ready-to-use image and video download URLs, so this doubles as a Pinterest image/video downloader.

When to use it

• Content & SEO research — find top-performing pins, related keywords, and trends for a niche.
• Competitor analysis — pull a brand's profile stats, boards, and pins.
• Image / video harvesting — collect downloadable media URLs in bulk.
• Creator discovery — extract profile metrics (followers, pins, verification).
• AI agents — a single tool call: URL or keyword in, structured JSON out.

Need pin-only bulk scraping at the lowest price? Use the companion Pinterest Pins, Boards & Profiles Scraper. This Data Extractor adds typed board/profile/keyword records, auto-detection, and media-download URLs.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Pin extracted	$0.004 per pin record
Entity extracted	$0.01 per board / profile / keyword record

You pay only for records returned. A 50-pin search ≈ $0.20. A profile or board record ≈ $0.01. Pay-Per-Usage (compute + proxy) is also available — pick at run time.

Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	string[]	Pinterest pin / board / profile URLs — type auto-detected.
searchTerms	string[]	Keywords to search; each returns pins + a keyword record.
resultsType	enum	auto (default), pins, boards, profiles, keywords.
maxItems	integer	Max records per input (default 50, range 1–10000).
includeRelatedPins	boolean	For pin URLs, also return "More like this" pins.
proxyConfiguration	object	Defaults to Apify residential proxies.

Example input

{
  "searchTerms": ["home office decor"],
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/nike/",
    "https://www.pinterest.com/nike/nike-running/",
    "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/241294492639523463/"
  ],
  "resultsType": "auto",
  "maxItems": 50
}

This returns: pin records for the search, a profile record for nike, a board record for nike-running (plus its pins), and a single pin record — all in one dataset, each tagged by dataType.

How auto-detection works

URL shape	Detected as
/pin/<id>/	pin
/<username>/	profile
/<username>/<board>/	board
/search/pins/?q=...	search

Set resultsType to force a single output type (e.g. profiles to keep only profile records).

FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest login or cookies? No. The actor extracts public data without authentication.

Why residential proxies? Pinterest blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxies (default) keep the success rate high.

Can it download images and videos? Yes — every pin record includes download_image_url and download_video_url.

What if a board is anti-bot blocked? Board inputs fall back to a server-side provider for pins, so board extraction stays reliable.

How is this different from the other Pinterest scraper? The companion actor returns pin-only records at a lower price. This one adds typed board/profile/keyword records, auto-detection, and media-download URLs.
