Pinterest Scraper: Pins by Keyword, Board or Profile

Find the most saved pins for a keyword, with the outbound link, its domain and any price the pin shows, one clean row per pin. Set Sort results by to Most saves first and the Actor reads a pool of pins, ranks them by saves and returns the top ones. It also reads board, profile and single pin URLs, with no login and no API keys: it reads the pages Pinterest shows to logged-out visitors.

Price: $2.00 per 1,000 pins. Failed searches and error rows are free. Apify's free plan ($5 monthly credit) covers about 2,500 pins.

Keyword search is paused (October 2026): Pinterest stopped giving signed-out visitors the pins behind search results, so a keyword search returns one free error row. Board, profile and pin URLs work as before, including Most saves first.

Questions it answers

• Which pins for a keyword get the most saves, and which of them link to a shop?
• Which products are pinned in a niche, where do they link, and what price does the pin show?
• What does a brand's Pinterest profile pin, and on which boards?
• Which pins are videos, how long are they, and where is the video file?
• What do people say in the comments on a pin, and how many likes do those comments get?

Shoppable trend finder

Pinterest's search results do not show save counts, so Most saves first reads a pool of pins for each keyword or URL (Pins to read before ranking by saves, default 100, maximum 500), ranks the pool by saves and returns the top Max pins per keyword or URL. The ranking covers the pins Pinterest returns for that keyword or URL, not every pin on Pinterest. Pins that are read but not returned are not charged.

Each row carries what product research needs:

• Demand: saves, repinCount, commentCount.
• Where it sends people: link (the outbound link) and domain (its host).
• Product data: isProduct, price, priceCurrency and availability. Pinterest shows a price on only some product pins, so price is often empty.
• Look and wording: dominantColor, altText and hashtags.

Comments on each pin

Turn on Include comments to add each pin's public comments to its row, in the order the pin page lists them. The Actor reads them as a logged-out visitor sees them, so no account is needed. Each comment has its text, when it was posted (createdAt), its likeCount, and the commenter's authorName and authorUsername. Max comments per pin sets how many to keep for each pin: 20 by default, up to 100.

A commenter whose profile is private keeps the comment text, but gets no name or username. commentCount is the number Pinterest counts, and the comment feed can end before that number: on one pin counted at 80, the feed ended after 54 comments.

Input for the example below, and one pin from that run (comments shortened):

{ "searchTerms": ["sourdough bread"], "includeComments": true, "maxCommentsPerPin": 3, "maxItems": 2 }

{
  "pinId": "140806234810234",
  "commentCount": 67,
  "comments": [
    {
      "text": "After multiple attempts with several different recipes failed, I tried this recipe. It turned out wonderfully!! ...",
      "createdAt": "2025-12-18T03:51:28.000Z",
      "likeCount": 22,
      "authorName": "Cindy Regier",
      "authorUsername": "cindyrregier"
    },
    {
      "text": "This is the best recipe! Easy to follow. I appreciated the time line suggestions. Turned out great! Making my second batch tonight!",
      "createdAt": "2026-09-17T01:02:54.000Z",
      "likeCount": 2,
      "authorName": "Dianne Leighton",
      "authorUsername": "chat2tigger"
    },
    {
      "text": "This was my first attempt at making sourdough bread and it turned out fantastic! The recipe was so easy to follow too!",
      "createdAt": "2026-01-19T20:47:57.000Z",
      "likeCount": 3,
      "authorName": "Shawn Price-Henley",
      "authorUsername": "shawnthenley"
    }
  ]
}

What this Actor does not do

It does not log in, use account cookies or solve CAPTCHAs, and it does not read private boards. It shows comments and names only as the public pin page does, and it gives no name or username for a private profile. It returns no avatars, and it does not look people up or guess their contact details. Emails and phone numbers in titles, descriptions and comments are replaced with placeholders. Board pin counts are not included, because Pinterest's pin data does not include them.

How much does it cost?

$2.00 per 1,000 pins.

• 100 pins: about $0.20
• 10,000 pins: about $20
• Failed searches and error rows: free. A pin found more than once in a run (for example by a search and a board) is charged once.
• Comments: no extra charge. Only pins are charged.
• Pins read for ranking by saves but not returned: free. Only the pins in your output are charged.

Apify's free plan gives $5 of credit every month, enough for about 2,500 pins.

FAQ

Is this legal? It reads only public pins and comments, the pages Pinterest shows to anyone without an account. It returns the display name and follower count shown on a public pinner profile, and the name and username a commenter shows on a public pin, but no avatars. Commenters with private profiles get no name or username. Emails and phone numbers in titles, descriptions and comments are replaced with placeholders. Privacy rules differ by country, so check how you store and use the data.

Why does Most saves first not return the most saved pins on Pinterest? It ranks only the pool of pins Pinterest returns for your keyword or URL, the first Pins to read before ranking by saves (default 100). Pins outside that pool are never read. Raise the pool size to look further, up to 500.

Why is the price empty on some product pins? Pinterest shows a price on only some product pins. When the pin shows none, price and priceCurrency are null.

What does availability mean? "out of stock" means Pinterest flags the product as sold out. Pinterest sends that flag only for some products; otherwise the field is null. It does not mean the product is in stock.

Why is the title empty on some pins? Some pins are saved without a title. The Actor then uses the grid title, and if that is also missing, the SEO title. The title field is null only when Pinterest gives none of the three.

How many pins can a search return? You set the limit with maxItems, up to 1,000 per keyword or URL. A run stops early when Pinterest's results run out, and a board can run out before maxItems is reached.

Why are there fewer comments than commentCount? commentCount is the number Pinterest shows for the pin, and its comment feed can end before that number. On one pin counted at 80, the feed ended after 54 comments.
