Pinterest Pin Scraper

Type the phrases you would type into Pinterest's own search box and get the pins as a table: the image, the page each pin links to and the domain behind it, title, description, author, and whether it carries a video — in Pinterest's own order, with the rank on every row.

No account, no API key, no quota.

The thing most people came for

destinationUrl and domain. A pin is a picture pointing at a page, and the page is usually the point — a shop, a recipe, an article. The Where they link view is that list on its own: which sites are winning a phrase on Pinterest, and who pinned them.

Two things said up front

1. Search answers carry no save or comment counts. Pinterest does not put them in a search response, so those columns do not exist here rather than existing and being empty. What a pin does carry is above.

2. Pinterest mixes its own shelves into the results — "Explore featured boards" cards that have no link, no author and no image of their own. They are dropped before anything is stored, so you are never charged for one.

Filters, applied before a row is stored

filter	what it does
Only pins that link somewhere	drops pins with no destination page
Only video pins	keeps the ones carrying a video, with its stream URL
Skip promoted pins	drops the ones Pinterest marks as advertising

A dropped pin is never charged.

What it costs to run

The first request of a run is Pinterest's search page — about a megabyte, once, because the pins endpoint will not answer a session that has not been through it. Every page after that is roughly 250 KB for about twenty pins.

What it does not do

• It does not read a board or a profile. Give it search phrases; boards are a different surface and will be their own listing if they open.
• It does not log in, so it sees what a signed-out visitor sees.
• It does not invent counts — see above.

Free plan

Everything works on the free plan: the same fields, the same filters.
