Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/pinterest-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 ```json { "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`. ### Output sample ```json { "dataType": "pin", "pin_id": "241294492639523463", "title": "Modern Minimalist Home Office", "description": "Clean white desk setup with natural wood accents.", "pin_url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/241294492639523463/", "image_url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/cd/ef/abcdef.jpg", "download_image_url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/cd/ef/abcdef.jpg", "is_video": false, "save_count": 4821, "hashtags": ["homeoffice", "decor"], "link": "https://example.com/office-ideas", "source_domain": "example.com", "board_name": "Home Inspiration", "pinner_username": "designerjane", "scraped_at": "2026-06-14T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ```json { "dataType": "profile", "username": "nike", "full_name": "Nike", "follower_count": 1200000, "pin_count": 2450, "board_count": 18, "is_verified": true, "website": "https://nike.com", "scraped_at": "2026-06-14T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### How auto-detection works | URL shape | Detected as | |---|---| | `/pin//` | pin | | `//` | profile | | `///` | board | | `/search/pins/?q=...` | search | Set `resultsType` to force a single output type (e.g. `profiles` to keep only profile records). ### Use with AI agents (MCP) This actor is exposed via the Apify MCP server as `apify--pinterest-data-extractor`. Tool description, input descriptions, and output are written for LLM consumption — narrow input, structured output, predictable per-record pricing. Connect at `https://mcp.apify.com`. ### 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. ### Related actors - [Pinterest Pins, Boards & Profiles Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/pinterest-scraper) — pin-focused, lowest price. - [Instagram Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/instagram-profile-scraper), [TikTok Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/tiktok-profile-scraper) — same structured-social cluster. ### Legal This actor extracts only publicly available Pinterest data. You are responsible for complying with Pinterest's Terms of Service, applicable laws (including GDPR/CCPA), and for using scraped data lawfully. Do not collect personal data without a lawful basis. This tool is provided for legitimate research, analytics, and archival use. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Use this when you have specific Pinterest URLs to extract — pins, boards, or profiles. The actor auto-detects each URL's type (e.g. 'https://www.pinterest.com/pin/241294492639523463/', 'https://www.pinterest.com/nike/', or a board URL 'https://www.pinterest.com/nike/shoes/'). Leave empty if you only use Search terms. NOT for keyword searches — put keywords in 'searchTerms'. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Use this when you want to search Pinterest by keyword, topic, or niche (e.g. 'home office decor'). Each term returns matching pins, plus one keyword-discovery record with related queries. Leave empty if you only use Pinterest URLs. NOT a URL — paste links into 'startUrls' instead. ## `resultsType` (type: `string`): Which record types to return. 'auto' (default) returns the natural type for each input — pins for searches, the pin/board/profile for URLs, plus keyword records for searches. Set to a specific type to force/filter output to only pins, boards, profiles, or keywords. Use 'auto' unless you need exactly one type. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum records to return per input (per search term or per URL). For example 50 returns up to 50 pins for each search term. Defaults to 50; valid range 1–10000. Higher values cost more (charged per record) and take longer. ## `includeRelatedPins` (type: `boolean`): When extracting a single pin URL, also return Pinterest's 'More like this' related pins. Off by default to keep single-pin runs cheap and focused. Only affects pin URLs — ignored for boards, profiles, and searches. Turning this on increases the number of charged pin records. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Pinterest blocks datacenter IPs, so residential proxies are strongly recommended and used by default. Leave as-is unless you have a specific proxy requirement. Requires Apify Proxy access on your account. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [], "searchTerms": [ "home office decor" ], "resultsType": "auto", "maxItems": 50, "includeRelatedPins": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All extracted Pinterest records as structured JSON. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [], "searchTerms": [ "home office decor" ], "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("khadinakbar/pinterest-data-extractor").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
