Pinterest Profile Scraper

Compare Pinterest profiles. Start with Pinterest profile URLs; each returned profile keeps handles, names, is private profile, instagram username, and audience size.

What it returns

Each row keeps the Pinterest source record beside the fields needed to use it. The opening set is username, userId, fullName, biography, avatar, websiteUrl, domainUrl, location, createdAt, lastPinSaveAt, seoTitle, and seoDescription. The complete schema is declared before the run, and dataset views keep related fields together without changing the underlying row.

Captured row

{
  "boardCount": 161,
  "followersCount": 4589,
  "followingCount": 331
}

Input

Pinterest Profile Scraper accepts source URLs. Run controls stay in the same form.

Field	What it controls	Starting value
startUrls	Paste exact Pinterest URLs, one per line.	["https://www.pinterest.com/kentbrew/"]
maxItems	Stop after this many dataset rows.	10
maxSeconds	Stop after this many seconds and keep completed rows.	240

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/kentbrew/"
  ],
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxSeconds": 240
}

No field is required. Start with the filled example, then replace only the target values needed for the job. Run controls can stay at their starting values for the first collection.

Output and exports

Output	Type	Destination
results	string	{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items
json	string	{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items?clean=true&format=json
csv	string	{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items?clean=true&format=csv
excel	string	{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items?clean=true&format=xlsx
jsonl	string	{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items?clean=true&format=jsonl

Completed rows are available in the Apify dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, and JSONL exports. The run output also carries the declared links above for API clients and automations.

Pricing

$4.49 per 1,000 videos on the Free plan. Other Apify plans use the rates shown in the Pricing tab.

Console, API, schedules, and MCP

Runs can begin in Apify Console, from a saved task, or through the Actor API. A schedule can reuse the same input, and a run-finished webhook can pass the dataset or run ID to the next system.

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/okSCcnnngSbhEtOeB/runs
GET  https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{datasetId}/items

For MCP selection, use Pinterest Profile Scraper. Its machine entry carries the same description, input field names, no-required-field contract, output types, dataset fields, views, and pricing facts as this document.

Saved tasks

Twenty saved-task products cover distinct lookup, comparison, research, operations, automation, and export jobs:

• Pinterest creator shortlist: buyer-job; opens overview.
• Pinterest audience and publishing benchmark: buyer-job; opens engagement.
• Pinterest profiles matched to websites: buyer-job; opens contact.
• Pinterest bios and profile positioning: buyer-job; opens content.
• Refresh a Pinterest creator watchlist: buyer-job; opens overview.

Integrations

Use the dataset API from any HTTP client, export rows to a spreadsheet, or send the run ID through an Apify webhook. Saved tasks give schedules and automation tools a stable input without changing the Actor contract.

When a run needs attention

• No rows: Open the target in a browser, check spelling and source visibility, then retry the saved example before widening the input.
• A field is empty: Check the field beside its source URL. A missing source value stays empty instead of being replaced with a guess.
• A target fails: Keep successful targets in the dataset, then retry only the affected input.
• An automation cannot find results: Read the dataset ID from the run and request its items endpoint directly.

FAQ

What do I get back from one run?

One row per profile with 28 declared fields, opening on username, userId, fullName and biography. The schema is published before the run, so you know the shape before you spend anything.

Do I need a pinterest account or login?

No. The run works from the pinterest sources you supply in the input. Nothing is posted, changed or accessed on your behalf.

What does a run cost?

The current rate is shown on the Pricing tab and is charged per row you receive, so a run that finds nothing costs close to nothing. Cap the run with the item limit when you want a predictable ceiling.

Can I try it before committing budget?

Yes. Cap the run with the item limit in the input and inspect the first rows. The cap is enforced before charging, so a trial run stays a trial.

What do I put in the input?

The staged input is already usable: startUrls, maxItems and maxSeconds. Replace the staged target with your own list when you are ready to run for real.

Are any fields required?

No field is required. Every input carries a working default, so the Actor can be started as-is and refined afterwards.

Do I need to configure proxies?

No. Network access is handled inside the Actor and needs no proxy configuration from you.

How fresh is the data?

Every row is collected during the run you start, not served from a cache. Re-run the same input whenever you need the current state of a pinterest profile.

Can I use the results commercially?

The Actor collects publicly accessible pinterest information. You remain responsible for how you use it, including any privacy or contractual obligations that apply to your business.

How do I compare two runs?

Keep username and userId as your join key and diff the exports. The identity fields stay stable across runs, which is what makes a comparison meaningful.

What happens if a source fails mid-run?

The run continues through the remaining sources and finishes with what it collected. Partial results are still written to the dataset rather than discarded.

Can I limit how long a run takes?

Yes. The maxItems input caps the run. Use it when you need a predictable cost and a predictable finish time.

How do I report a problem?

Open an issue on the Actor with the run ID, the input you used and the field or row that needs attention. The run ID lets the exact execution be inspected.

How is this different from Pinterest Search Scraper?

Pinterest Profile Scraper answers one job: Compare Pinterest profiles.. Pinterest Search Scraper covers a different question on the same platform. Run both when you need both sides.

How do I read the output without scrolling through JSON?

Open the overview view on the Output tab. 6 views ship with the Actor (overview, identity, contact, location, engagement and content), each grouping the fields that belong to one question.

How do I get the data into my own tools?

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, call the dataset API directly, or attach a run-finished webhook and collect the dataset reference as soon as the run ends.

Can an agent or LLM call this?

Yes. Pinterest Profile Scraper is exposed over MCP with the same description, no-required-field input contract and output types shown here, so an agent can select and call it without a human in the loop.

Why is a value empty on some rows?

pinterest does not expose every field on every profile. An absent value stays empty rather than being filled with a guess, so a row never invents a fact it did not receive.

A run returned fewer rows than I expected. Why?

The usual causes are a narrow source list, an item cap still set low, or a source that genuinely holds less than expected. Widen the input or raise the cap and run again.

Can I schedule this to run on its own?

Yes. Save the input as an Apify task and attach a schedule. Keep separate tasks when different teams need different targets or delivery paths.

Support

Use the Actor issue form for product questions, broken source routes, schema mismatches, and feedback. Include the smallest input that reproduces the problem. That is enough to locate the run and its dataset without sharing an entire working list.

Use this Actor only for data you are allowed to collect. Follow source terms, privacy law, and your own retention policy.
