How much does it cost to scrape Pinterest?

What is the price per Pinterest search result?

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

Each result-scraped event means one Pinterest search result was extracted and pushed to the dataset. A run with 1,000 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

• Track Pinterest trends for keywords, aesthetics, products, or campaign themes.
• Build content research datasets from Pinterest search results.
• Monitor pinners and visual content around a market category.
• Collect image URLs and metadata for editorial planning or competitive research.
• Feed Pinterest search data into spreadsheets, BI tools, databases, or automation workflows.

How it works

1. The actor validates the query, filter, and limit.
2. It requests Pinterest search data with browser-like headers and optional Apify Proxy support.
3. It paginates while Pinterest returns more results and the limit has not been reached.
4. It deduplicates pins by ID and normalizes pinner, date, type, and image fields.
5. It pushes each result to the default Apify dataset and charges one PPE event per saved result on the Apify platform.
