How to use Pinterest Autocomplete Scraper - step by step

1. Sign in to your Apify account (free tier available to test).
2. Open the “Pinterest Autocomplete Scraper” actor.
3. Add your seeds in the “targets” field. Use the string list editor and enter one keyword/URL/username per line (all treated as keyword seeds).
4. (Optional) Open “Proxy Configuration” and enable Apify Proxy if you anticipate blocks. The actor will automatically fall back to datacenter and residential proxies as needed.
5. Click Start to run the actor. The scraper calls the Pinterest autocomplete API for each seed and gathers suggestions at scale.
6. Monitor the run logs for proxy mode transitions (none → datacenter → residential) as the scraper adapts to blocking.
7. When finished, go to the Dataset tab to preview results and export to CSV, JSON, or Excel — or connect to Google Sheets/API.

Pro Tip: Automate recurring keyword research by triggering this run via the Apify API and piping results into your SEO/analytics stack for a hands‑off Pinterest keyword research tool.
