Pinterest Profile Scraper (No Login)

Get any public Pinterest profile as a JSON or CSV row: display name, bio, website, followers, following, monthly views, pin and board counts, joined date and business account flag. You can add the profile's boards and pins, or find accounts in a niche by keyword. No login, no cookies, no account.

What people use it for:

• Vetting creators and brands before working with them: followers, monthly views and the website each account links to, side by side.
• Tracking accounts over time: schedule the same usernames to get fresh follower, pin and monthly view counts every run.
• Listing the accounts in a niche: search "interior designer" or "wedding photographer" to get each account's profile with its follower count and website.
• Studying a competitor's Pinterest: its boards with pin and follower counts, and the pins it created, with saves and outbound links.

Quick start

Paste this into the JSON tab of the input and click Start:

{"usernames": ["bhg", "marthastewart", "etsy", "ikea", "sephora", "target", "nasa", "nike"]}

You get one profile row per username: 8 rows in about 10 seconds. Usernames are the part after pinterest.com/ in the profile link; @bhg and full profile links on any country site (https://www.pinterest.co.uk/marthastewart/) work too.

More examples:

{"searchQueries": ["interior designer", "wedding photographer"]}

{"usernames": ["bhg"], "profileBoards": true, "profilePins": "created"}

{"startUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.co.uk/marthastewart/"], "profileBoards": true, "onlyNew": true}

One real profile row (run on 2026-10-18):

{
  "type": "profile",
  "username": "marthastewart",
  "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/marthastewart/",
  "displayName": "Martha Stewart",
  "bio": "Daily recipes, crafts, and inspiration from Martha Stewart.",
  "website": "http://marthastewart.com",
  "websiteVerified": true,
  "followers": 1867922,
  "following": 321,
  "pins": 105570,
  "boards": 174,
  "monthlyViews": 10000001,
  "isVerifiedMerchant": false,
  "isBusinessAccount": true,
  "avatarUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/280x280_RS/c8/11/4c/c8114c783347e27daef00e5d4a6ac4f3.jpg",
  "joinedAt": "2011-09-15T07:56:17.000Z",
  "lastSavedAt": "2026-10-18T02:00:28.000Z",
  "details": "full",
  "source": "profile",
  "input": "marthastewart",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-18T06:40:25.106Z"
}

The dataset has four views (Profiles, Boards, Pins, Not found (free)) and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. The run's SUMMARY record has rows by kind, free rows by reason and timing.

Pricing

You pay per profile, board or pin returned. There is no charge for Apify platform usage on top.

Row	Free and Starter	Scale	Business
Profile	$1 per 1,000	$0.75 per 1,000	$0.55 per 1,000
Board	$1 per 1,000	$0.75 per 1,000	$0.55 per 1,000
Pin	$1 per 1,000	$0.75 per 1,000	$0.55 per 1,000

That is $1 per 1,000 rows of any kind on the Free and Starter plans. Plus $0.00005 per run start. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 5,000 profiles. Free-plan runs stop at 1,000 rows each; any paid Apify plan removes the cap.

What's free: profiles, boards and pins that don't exist or aren't public, searches with no results and unusable inputs (each comes back as a free not-found row saying what happened), the same lookup typed twice, and boards and pins skipped by onlyNew. To cap a run's spend, set Maximum cost per run in the run options, or Max rows in total in the input.

Limits

• Only what a signed-out visitor sees. Pinterest shows a signed-out visitor one page of each list (about 25 accounts per search, 25 boards or 25 pins per profile) and then asks them to log in. This Actor never logs in, so that is the most it returns per list. The counts on a profile row (followers, pins, boards) are always complete.
• For more accounts in a niche, use several keywords: each keyword is its own list of about 25.
• Only public boards and pins. Secret boards are never reachable.
• Boards are off unless you turn on Boards of each profile (profileBoards: true), including for API calls that leave the field out (fixed 18 Oct 2026; before that, an input without the field could return boards too).
• About each profile it keeps what the public profile shows. E-mail addresses and phone numbers written into bios and descriptions are replaced with [contact removed], and Pinterest's contact e-mail, phone and first and last name fields are never read.
• Full details for every pin (on by default) opens each profile found by keyword, and each pin, on its own page. Turn it off for a lighter run: rows then carry what the list showed (details: "listing"), without bio, website, following or monthly views for searched profiles.
• Profile links also take pin, board and search links, and pin.it short links: they return that pin, board or search.
• No browser: it reads the same data Pinterest's own pages load, so most runs take seconds. If time runs short, the run ends successfully with the rows so far and says what to narrow.

Only new since last run, and schedules

Schedule the Actor with the same usernames to track followers, pins and monthly views over time: profile rows come back fresh every run. With Only new since the last run on, boards and pins that an earlier run with the same lookups already returned are skipped and not charged, so a schedule with Boards of each profile or Pins from profiles returns only new boards and pins. Set up a schedule under Schedules in Apify Console.

Integrations: API, n8n, Make and AI agents

API. Run it and get the rows back in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/locaihost~pinterest-profiles/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"usernames": ["bhg", "marthastewart"], "profileBoards": true}'

Apify's API clients for Python and JavaScript work the same way.

n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks. Apify's built-in integrations send each run's dataset wherever you need it, for example a weekly follower count per account into a Google Sheet.

AI agents (MCP). Add this Actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/pinterest-profiles, then ask something like "Find 25 wedding photographers on Pinterest and list them by followers, with the website each one links to."

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Pinterest profiles?

$1 per 1,000 profiles, boards or pins on the Free and Starter plans, less on Scale and Business. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 5,000 profiles.

Can I use it through the API or from Python?

Yes. Use the run-sync-get-dataset-items call above, or Apify's Python and JavaScript clients. Every run's data is also available as JSON, CSV or Excel from its dataset.

Can I use it from an AI agent?

Yes. Through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/pinterest-profiles) any MCP client can call it with usernames or keywords and read the profiles back.

Is it legal to scrape Pinterest?

The Actor reads only what a signed-out visitor can see; it never logs in or uses cookies from an account, and it stops where Pinterest asks a visitor to log in. Pinterest's own terms restrict automated collection, so check them against your use. It keeps only what a public profile shows and removes contact details written into bios and descriptions. Follow privacy law (such as GDPR) if you store data about people, never use the data to contact, profile or harass anyone, and remember that images belong to the people who made them. You are responsible for how you use the results.

Why do I get only about 25 boards or pins per profile?

That is what Pinterest shows a signed-out visitor before it asks them to log in, and this Actor never logs in. The profile row's pins and boards counts are still the full totals.

Why are some fields empty?

monthlyViews is null when the profile hides it, and website when it lists none. Profiles found by keyword with Full details for every pin off have only what the search list showed (details: "listing").
