Pinterest Profile Scraper — Followers, Views & Boards

Pinterest Profile Scraper scrapes public Pinterest profiles by username or profile URL and returns followers, following, pins, boards, monthly views, bio, website (and whether Pinterest verified it), verified and business flags and join date as JSON — plus, if you want, every public board and the profile's latest pins with their outbound links.

$0.0016 per profile, $0.0016 per board or pin row. No start fee, no login, no browser. Profiles that do not exist and inputs that are not profiles are free.

Tested head-to-head — 14 October 2026

The same 10 well-known profiles (natgeo, marthastewart, etsy, ikeausa, bhg, nytimes, sephora, target, wholefoods, homedepot), profile data only, run on the five most-used Pinterest Actors that read profiles:

	This Actor	Other Pinterest profile Actors
Profiles returned	10 of 10	10 of 10 at best; one returned pins instead of profiles, one stopped at 3 of 10 at a $0.10 cap
Cost of the 10 profiles	$0.016	$0.020 – $0.10
Start fee	none	none to $0.09 per run
Time	9 s	6 – 97 s
Monthly views, website verified flag, business e-mail, last pin date	all in one row	at most some of them

What is Pinterest Profile Scraper?

An influencer, competitor and lead research tool for marketers, agencies, e-commerce brands and AI agents. Paste a list of Pinterest accounts — from a search export, a competitor list or a CRM — and get the numbers you need before you reach out or benchmark: audience size, monthly reach, activity, the website behind the account, and what they pin.

Typical uses:

• Influencer vetting — followers, monthly views and last pin date for a shortlist of creators.
• Competitor benchmarking — track a brand's followers and boards weekly on a schedule.
• Lead enrichment — the verified website and business flag of each account.
• Content audit — a profile's latest pins with the links they drive traffic to, and every board with its pin count.

What is in every row

Profile rows (type: profile)

Field	Meaning
username, name, url, about, avatarUrl, userId	Who the account is
followers, following, pins, boards	Audience and size
monthlyViews, monthlyViewsIsCapped	Monthly views as Pinterest shows them; Pinterest caps the display at 10m+, flagged by monthlyViewsIsCapped
website, websiteVerified	The website on the profile and whether the owner verified it with Pinterest
isVerified, isBusiness, isPrivate	Badges and account type
createdAt, lastPinAt	Account age and last activity
email, instagramUrl	Business contact e-mail and linked Instagram the profile shows publicly (business accounts that filled them in)
coverImageUrl, interestsFollowing, hasShop	Profile cover, topics followed, whether the profile has a shop tab

Board rows (type: board, with Include boards): name, url, description, pins, followers, sections, isCollaborative, coverImageUrl, lastPinnedAt, profile.

Pin rows (type: pin, with Latest pins per profile above 0): title, description, link, linkDomain, imageUrl, isVideo, videoUrl, reactions, saves, boardName, createdAt, url, pinnerFollowers, profile — plus boardPinCount when Include boards is on.

Three table views come with the dataset: Profiles, Boards and Pins.

How much does it cost?

Row	Price
Profile	$0.0016
Board	$0.0016
Pin	$0.0016
Not found / not a profile / failed	$0

• 1,000 profiles, profile only: $1.60.
• One profile with 50 boards and 100 latest pins: $0.24.
• No start fee, no proxy charge. Prices drop on higher Apify plans (down to $0.00136 per row).

Other profile scrapers on the Store charge $0.002–0.004 per profile and one adds a $0.09 start fee per run (checked 14 October 2026).

Set Max cost per run in the run options to cap a run: the Actor stops by itself, green, once the cap is reached, and everything written is paid for.

How to use it in three steps

1. Paste usernames or profile URLs into 👤 Profiles, one per line.
2. Set Latest pins per profile (0 for profile only) and switch Include boards on or off.
3. Press Start, then download JSON, CSV or Excel — or call the run from the API, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

Tips

• Find profiles first: run Pinterest Search Scraper with People for a keyword, then paste the usernames here.
• Weekly tracking: save the input as a Task and schedule it; compare followers and lastPinAt between runs.
• Accounts that only save others' pins have no pins of their own — the Actor then returns their latest saved pins instead.

For AI agents

• Minimal input: {"profiles": ["natgeo"]} — usernames or profile links, any Pinterest domain.
• Returns: one type: "profile" row per profile; type: "board" / type: "pin" rows only when includeBoards / maxPinsPerProfile ask for them; type: "error" rows (free) for unknown usernames, inputs that are not profiles and boards/pins lists Pinterest cut short, always at the end of the dataset. Blank lines are skipped.
• Time: about 1 second per profile, plus about 1 second per 25 boards or pins. Up to 50 profiles — call synchronously (run-sync-get-dataset-items); bigger lists — start the run and poll it.
• The status message says how many profiles, boards and pins came back and how many inputs were not found.

Integrations and API

Run it from the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, a schedule, or a webhook, and push results to Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot or a database through n8n, Make or Zapier. The Apify MCP server exposes it to Claude, ChatGPT and other agents as a tool: "compare the Pinterest audiences of IKEA UK, Etsy and Martha Stewart".

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Pinterest profiles? The Actor reads only public profile information any visitor sees without an account. Some profiles belong to individuals — you are responsible for having a legitimate reason to process that data and for complying with Pinterest's terms and privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

Can it read private profiles or secret boards? No. A private profile comes back without boards or pins, and secret boards are never included.

Do I need a Pinterest account? No.
