Pinterest Scraper - Scrape Pins, Boards & Profiles

---

📌 Overview

The Pinterest Scraper collects public Pinterest data through four entry points: keyword search, board URLs, usernames / profile URLs and individual pin URLs or IDs. Every pin comes back with complete metadata: title, description, outbound link, full-resolution image, video URL (when it's a video pin), pinner, board, dominant colour and repin / save count. It paginates each input to pull hundreds to thousands of pins in a single run.

It needs no login, no cookies and no API key — it reads only public data through US residential proxies, so there's zero risk to any Pinterest account. With no headless browser, it's a fast and low-cost way to build large Pinterest datasets.

✅ Add many keywords, boards or creators and raise maxItemsPerInput to assemble an analysis-ready Pinterest dataset in a single run.

⚙️ How it works

1. You provide keywords, board URLs, usernames or pin URLs/IDs.
2. The actor opens a sticky US residential session to read public Pinterest data.
3. Each input is walked with cursor pagination across the relevant feed.
4. Every pin is parsed into a clean record and streamed to the dataset.

No login, no cookies, no API keys — and no Pinterest account is ever used or risked.

❓ FAQ

Is this a Pinterest API alternative?

Yes. It reads public Pinterest data — pins, boards, profiles and search results — without the official Pinterest API, a developer app, OAuth or API keys. Just paste keywords, boards, usernames or pin URLs and run.

Does it need login or cookies?

No. The Actor reads public Pinterest data only — no login, no cookies you provide, no developer API key. No Pinterest account is used, so there's zero ban risk.

How many pins can I scrape?

Hundreds to thousands — it paginates each input, and you control depth with maxItemsPerInput and the global maxResults cap.

Can I get full-resolution images and video URLs?

Yes — each pin includes the original-size (images.orig) image URL, and video pins include a direct video URL. Outbound destination links are captured too.

Are save (repin) counts included?

Yes — captured for every pin; single-pin detail mode returns the most accurate save count.

Why residential US proxies?

Pinterest serves its data reliably to US residential traffic. The default proxy is pre-configured — just leave it as-is.

How do I export Pinterest data to CSV or JSON?

Run the Actor, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML — or pull it via API and webhooks. Every pin's images, links and save counts come through structured.

Can I scrape Pinterest without an API key or login?

Yes. This is a Pinterest API alternative that reads public data with no developer app, OAuth, API key, login or cookies — so there's no Pinterest account and no ban risk.

Is there a Pinterest board or image scraper here too?

Yes. Point it at board URLs to pull every pin plus board metadata, and each pin returns its full-resolution image and video URL — a board, image and profile scraper in one.
