Pinterest Pins, Boards & Profiles Scraper

What is Pinterest Scraper?

Pinterest Scraper turns Pinterest searches, board links, pin links and profile links into one row per pin. Each row has the title, description, full-size image with its dimensions and dominant color, video link for video pins, save count, hashtags, outbound link and domain, board, creator and publish date. Marketers, ecommerce teams, trend researchers and AI agents use it to study visual trends, track brand boards and collect pin data in bulk, with no Pinterest login.

Why marketers use it for trend research

• Four ways in, one dataset. Mix keyword searches, boards, single pins and profiles in one run.
• Full-size media. image_url points at the original image, and video pins include a direct video_url.
• Engagement and timing. save_count and created_at show what people save and when it was posted.
• Where pins lead. link and source_domain show which websites a pin sends traffic to.
• Pay per pin. One charge per pin saved; removed pins are listed in the run summary and free.

Example workflow: finding what to make next

A home-decor shop plans its spring range. They search five style keywords with maxPins at 100, sort by save_count, and keep pins from the last six months using created_at. They group source_domain to see which shops and blogs those pins link to. Then they collect the top creators' profiles with Pinterest Profile Scraper to find partners for a launch.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. You pay one event per pin saved, plus a start event and the platform usage of the run. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current price.

• 3 searches × 50 pins = 150 pin events + platform usage.
• maxPins caps each search, board or profile, so it doubles as a cost ceiling.
• Removed pins are free.

Pinterest research with AI agents (MCP)

Connect this Actor to an AI agent through Apify MCP and ask in plain language:

Find the 30 most-saved Pinterest pins about "capsule wardrobe" and list which websites they link to.

Agent checklist:

1. Put keywords in searchQueries, or links in boardUrls, pinUrls or profileUrls.
2. Keep maxPins close to the request.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items; sort by save_count and group by source_domain.
4. Read OUTPUT.outcome to confirm the outcome before answering.

Builder's note

I found that most people use pin data to decide what to create, so every row keeps the save count, publish date and the website the pin links to. I learned that boards, profiles and searches answer different questions, so one run can mix all of them and each row records the input that found it in source_url.

FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest account?

No. The Actor reads public Pinterest data and needs no login or cookies.

How many pins can I get?

maxPins sets the number per search, board or profile. Searches and profiles page through results until that number is reached.

Does it download videos?

Video pins include a direct video_url. To save the files themselves, use Pinterest Video Downloader.

What happens with a pin that was removed?

It is listed in OUTPUT.notFound and is free.

Why is price empty on most pins?

price is filled for product pins that show a price. Regular idea and image pins have no price.
