🖼️ What the Pinterest Image Downloader Returns

Dataset link

The output includes a link named dataset that opens the default Apify dataset for the run.

Image rows

Each saved row has a Pinterest pin URL and a direct source image URL. When Pinterest exposes them, the row also includes a preview link, image size and format, pin title and description, board and creator details, public engagement counts, and the pin creation time.

▶️ Find Pinterest Images Your Way

Quick start

1. Choose Pin URLs, Board URL, or Keyword in the input.
2. Add one or more public pin URLs, one public board URL, or one keyword.
3. Set minWidth or minHeight if you want to skip smaller images.
4. Keep the prefilled maxItems value of 10 for a shorter first run, or set your own limit.
5. Start the Actor and open the dataset link in the output.

Source choices

Use Pin URLs for one or more public pins. Full Pinterest pin URLs and pin.it short URLs are accepted. Use Board URL for one public board. Use Keyword for one Pinterest image search, and run the Actor again for another search.

Work limit

maxItems sets the board collection size and stops work after that many images for Pin URLs or Keyword. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. A smaller limit or an image-size filter can reduce the amount of work in a run.

Duplicate pins

If the same source pin appears more than once in your submitted list, the first eligible occurrence is saved. Later matches are ignored.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is Image Retrieved. It applies when one image with a direct source link and available metadata is saved to your dataset. The price shown by Apify depends on your plan tier. Use maxItems to cap how many image retrieval events a run can create.

Can I use a public board URL?

Yes. Choose Board URL and enter one public Pinterest board URL. Use maxItems when you want to set the collection size.

Can I search for several keywords in one run?

No. Choose Keyword for one search. Run the Actor again for another keyword.

What happens when the same pin is submitted twice?

The first eligible occurrence is saved, and later matches for the same source pin are ignored.

What happens when Pinterest does not expose a field?

Fields such as title, dimensions, board details, creator details, and engagement counts may be missing when Pinterest does not provide them. The Actor does not fill in values that are not available.

Does the Actor save image files?

No. It returns direct source image links. It does not make Actor-hosted file copies.
