Pinterest Scraper

Pinterest Scraper extracts pins, boards, and user profiles from Pinterest into structured JSON data. Built for content marketers, trend researchers, and anyone who needs Pinterest data at scale without manual scrolling.

What does Pinterest Scraper do?

This actor has four modes that cover everything you'd want to pull from Pinterest. Search finds pins by keyword with sorting options for relevance, recency, or popularity. Pin fetches full details for a specific pin including rich metadata, image dimensions, tags, and embed data. User pulls a complete profile -- follower counts, bio, monthly views, boards, and more. Board extracts board details along with all pins inside it.

You can pass either IDs or full Pinterest URLs -- the scraper figures out what you mean. Want pins from a specific board? Just paste the board URL. Want details on a pin? Paste the pin link or enter the numeric ID. It handles both.

Results include image URLs at full resolution, save counts, comment counts, and external links. For video pins, you get embed data too.

What data do you get?

Pin results:

• id, title, description
• image_url, image_urls (multiple resolutions)
• link (external URL from the pin)
• pinner_name, pinner_username, board_name
• save_count, comment_count, url
• is_video, created_at

Pin details (additional):

• rich_metadata (article, recipe, product data)

• embed (video embed data), tags, related_pins_count

User profiles:

• username, name, bio

How much does it cost?

Each result costs $0.003. Scraping 1,000 pins costs $3, and 10,000 pins costs $30.

Apify gives every new user $5 in free monthly credits, so you can scrape roughly 1,600 results for free.

Common questions

Can I get full-resolution images? Yes. The scraper returns image URLs at multiple resolutions, including the original full-size version.

Does it work with private boards? No. The scraper can only access publicly visible content. Private and secret boards are not accessible.

Can I scrape all pins from a specific board? Yes. Use board mode and provide the board URL or the username plus board slug. Set the limit high enough to capture all pins.
