Why use this actor?

• Bulk input: Scrape followers for many profiles in one run.
• Proxy fallback: Starts without proxy; if Pinterest blocks, automatically switches to datacenter then residential (with retries) and sticks to residential for the rest of the run.
• Structured output: Same shape as the reference output (by username, with total_followers_scraped and followers array per profile).

Key features

• Input: list of Pinterest profile URLs or usernames + optional proxy and session cookie.
• Output: dataset rows per follower + default key-value store OUTPUT with { "username": { "total_followers_scraped", "followers": [...] }, ... }.
• Logging: progress and proxy events logged to the Apify run log.
• Retries: exponential backoff on 5xx and network errors; no retry on 4xx (except 403/429 trigger proxy fallback).
