How much does it cost to download Pinterest image data?

What is the price per Pinterest image result?

Event	Free, Bronze, Silver	Gold
image-downloaded	$0.0029 per result ($2.90 / 1,000)	$0.0025 per result ($2.50 / 1,000)

Each image-downloaded event means one Pinterest pin URL was processed successfully and pushed to the dataset. A run with 1,000 successful image results costs $2.90 on Free, Bronze, and Silver plans, or $2.50 on Gold. Apify free trial credits may cover test runs where applicable.

Use cases

• Collect direct Pinterest image URLs for asset review and creative research.
• Build image datasets from Pinterest pins discovered with Pinterest Search Scraper.
• Audit media variants and available image sizes for public pins.
• Monitor saved pins, campaign references, mood boards, or visual inspiration sets.
• Feed Pinterest image metadata into spreadsheets, BI tools, databases, or automation workflows.

How it works

1. The actor validates and deduplicates the links input.
2. It requests each public Pinterest pin page with browser-like headers and optional proxy settings.
3. It extracts Pinterest's embedded public pin media data.
4. It falls back to direct i.pinimg.com URL discovery if the embedded payload changes.
5. It pushes one dataset item per input URL and charges one PPE event per successful result on the Apify platform.
