📌 Pinterest Scraper: Pins, Boards, Profiles & Search

🚀 Pinterest Scraper exports pins, boards, profiles, and search results in seconds: images, descriptions, save counts, board and pinner details, and product pricing when the pin is a shopping pin. Point it at a keyword, a username, a board, or a pin URL, get a structured dataset back.

Pulling Pinterest data by hand means scrolling and screenshotting one pin at a time. This Actor calls Pinterest's own internal API directly and turns any search, profile, board, or individual pin into a clean, exportable dataset in seconds. Runs on the Apify platform, so every run is schedulable, monitorable from the Console, and reachable through the Apify API or any of Apify's integrations (Zapier, Make, n8n).

📋 What the Pinterest Scraper does

Four input modes, usable together in one run: search by keyword (scoped to pins, videos, boards, or users), scrape a profile's full pin grid plus profile metadata, scrape every pin on a specific board, or scrape individual pins by URL. Every mode returns the same consistent record shape: image, title, description, pinner, board, save count, and (for shopping pins) product fields, ready for a spreadsheet or a downstream pipeline.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	array	Keywords to search, same as Pinterest's own search bar
searchScope	string	pins, videos, boards, or users: what the search returns
profiles	array	Usernames to scrape (profile metadata + full pin grid)
boardUrls	array	Full board URLs, every pin on that board
pinUrls	array	Full pin URLs, individual pin detail
maxItems	integer	Cap per source. Leave empty to pull everything available
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional. Not required for normal volume

Minimal input, one search:

{
  "searchQueries": ["home decor"],
  "searchScope": "pins",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Combined, all four modes in one run:

{
  "searchQueries": ["coffee"],
  "profiles": ["tiktok"],
  "boardUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/"],
  "pinUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890123456789/"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to know: comment counts are only available when scraping a pin directly by URL. Search, profile, and board results use Pinterest's lighter listing payload, which doesn't include them, fetching full detail on every grid pin would multiply request volume with no other benefit, so that field stays empty outside pin-URL mode. Everything else (save count, board, pinner, images, product data) is populated in every mode.

💼 Business use cases

Competitor research. Search a niche keyword and see which boards and pinners dominate it.

E-commerce. Scrape shopping pins for a product category to track pricing and merchant presence on Pinterest.

Trend tracking. Run a scheduled search on a keyword weekly to watch save counts and new entrants over time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does this need a Pinterest account or login? No. Everything scraped is public data, reachable without authentication.

Can I scrape a private board or profile? No. Only publicly visible pins, boards, and profiles are accessible.

Why don't search or board results include comment counts? Pinterest's grid listing API (used for search, profile, and board pulls) doesn't include that field. It's only present on the detailed single-pin payload, used in pin-URL mode. See the Input section above.

Are video pins and Story Pins supported? Regular pins and video pins are fully supported. Story Pins (Pinterest's separate story-page format) use a completely different data structure and aren't parsed in this version.

How much does it cost to run? Apify's free tier covers small runs. Check current Apify plan pricing at apify.com/pricing.

Can I combine multiple search keywords and profiles in one run? Yes. searchQueries, profiles, boardUrls, and pinUrls all accept multiple entries and run together.

Does this download the actual image or video files? No, it returns the image URLs. Downloading the files themselves is a straightforward next step in your own pipeline using those URLs.

Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes, Apify Actors support scheduling directly from the Console, so you can track a keyword or board on a recurring basis.

What happens if a profile, board, or pin doesn't exist? The run logs it and pushes an error record naming that source, then continues with the rest of the input.
