📌 Pinterest Pins, Boards & Profiles Scraper

What does Pinterest Scraper do?

Pinterest Scraper extracts structured data from Pinterest pins, boards, profiles, and search results — no login, no API key, no cookies required. Supply a keyword, a board URL, a profile URL, or individual pin links and get back a rich JSON dataset ready for analysis, AI pipelines, or export to CSV and Excel.

Why use Pinterest Scraper?

• Faster and cheaper than the alternatives. Pure HTTP-based extraction means no browser overhead — scrape thousands of pins at a fraction of the cost of browser-based tools. Pay only for what you scrape with PAY_PER_EVENT pricing at $0.003/pin.
• 4 input modes in one actor. Search by keyword, scrape a full board, pull a user's profile pins, or target individual pin URLs — combine all modes in a single run.
• Richer data than any competitor. Every pin record includes 27 structured fields: full-resolution image URLs, video URLs, engagement metrics, creator profile stats, board follower counts, outbound links, dominant color, hashtags, product prices, and more.

How to Scrape Pinterest — Tutorial

Step 1: Choose your input mode

Search by keyword — Find pins matching a topic, trend, or niche:

{
  "searchQueries": ["minimalist kitchen design", "wedding table decor"],
  "maxPins": 100
}

Scrape a board — Extract all pins from a specific Pinterest board:

{
  "boardUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/pinterest/official-news/"],
  "maxPins": 200
}

Scrape a profile — Pull recent pins from a user's profile:

{
  "profileUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/designerjane/"],
  "maxPins": 150
}

Scrape individual pins — Get data for specific pins by URL:

{
  "pinUrls": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/241294492639523463/",
    "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/578538823428729456/"
  ]
}

Combine modes in one run:

{
  "searchQueries": ["scandinavian interior design"],
  "boardUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/mydesigner/favorites/"],
  "maxPins": 50
}

Step 2: Configure proxy

The default proxy setting (useApifyProxy: true) works for most use cases. For high-volume scraping or if you hit rate limits, switch to residential proxies in the proxy configuration.

Step 3: Export your data

Results export to JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from the Apify Console dataset view. You can also access results via the Apify API or connect to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or any data pipeline.
