Pinterest Video Downloader — MP4 + HLS Links

Download Pinterest videos in bulk. Paste pin URLs, pin.it short links, bare pin IDs, a whole board or profile URL, or a search keyword — and get back the direct MP4 download link, the HLS stream URL, thumbnail, creator, duration, dimensions, and engagement stats for every video pin. HTTP-only, no login, no cookies, MCP-ready.

When to use it

• Repurpose Pinterest video content into other channels (TikTok, Reels, Shorts).
• Archive your own or licensed pins as MP4 files.
• Feed downloadable video URLs to an AI agent or automation (Make, Zapier, n8n).
• Build datasets of trending video pins by keyword.

Do not use it for image pins, boards, or profile scraping — those aren't videos. For general Pinterest data see the other Pinterest actors in this account.

Pricing

Pay-per-event, billed only for what you get:

• Actor start: $0.00005 per run
• Video downloaded: $0.005 per video returned with a download link

A 50-video run costs about $0.25. Non-video pins are skipped and not charged. Pay-Per-Usage (compute + proxy) is also available for very large jobs.

MCP / AI agents

This actor is MCP-ready. Exposed as apify--pinterest-video-downloader in the Apify MCP server, it returns a single downloadable MP4 URL per pin — a clean tool call for agents that need to fetch or repurpose Pinterest video.

FAQ

Does it need my Pinterest login or cookies? No. It reads Pinterest's public, unauthenticated pin API.

What if a pin only has an HLS stream? videoUrl may be empty but hlsUrl is returned; download it with ffmpeg or yt-dlp.

Do I pay for image pins? No. Only pins that yield a video download link are billed.

Do the CDN links expire? Pinterest CDN links are stable but not guaranteed forever. Enable Save MP4 to keep a permanent copy in the run store.
