Search Pinterest by keyword and get every pin as one clean row: pinId, pinUrl, title, description, altText, hashtags, imageUrl (full size), dominantColor, link, linkDomain, isVideo / videoUrl, reactionCount, createdAt, isPromoted, visualTags, pinnerUsername, pinnerName, pinnerFollowers, pinnerIsVerifiedMerchant, boardName, boardUrl, boardPinCount — and, with creator enrichment on, the pinner's public profile: creatorWebsite, creatorDomain, creatorDomainVerified, creatorContactEmail, creatorContactPhone, creatorInstagram, creatorIsBusiness, creatorMonthlyViews, creatorAbout. No login. No cookies. No browser. No CAPTCHA solving.
Measured scope: the shipped default returns 50 unique pins from 3 search pages with 0 duplicates, 43 of 43 creator profiles fetched and 0 failed, and 0 of the run's 48 requests needed the residential fallback — all through the Apify datacenter proxy (platform run, 2026-08-27). Pinterest keeps paginating a popular keyword past 1,000 pins, so the ceiling is your limit, not the site.
{"queries": ["home office ideas"],"maxItems": 50,"maxPinsPerQuery": 50,"enrichCreators": true}
Click Try for free and hit Start — that block is literally the input the Actor ships with. A run on those shipped defaults returned 50 pins in 41 seconds from 3 search pages, opened 43 unique creator profiles, and found a contact (website, email, phone or Instagram) on 25 of 43 creators (58%). It costs $0.15 for the pins plus $0.004 per creator contact actually found — $0.25 for that run.
The wedge: a creator contact, not just a pin
Ninety Apify Actors carry "Pinterest" in their name, and the handful that return search pins all return the same JSON: title, image, description, pinner username, board. That row is commodity data. What it is not is a lead.
This Actor does two things the top sellers in the lane do not advertise:
- It opens each unique pinner's public profile and reads the contact fields Pinterest
publishes for business accounts. Measured on the shipped-default run (2026-08-27, 50 pins
from 43 unique creators): website on 48% of rows, contact email 30%, contact phone 8%,
Instagram handle 14% — at least one contact on 58% of creators, and 95% are business
accounts that also publish
creatorMonthlyViews(the "monthly views" number on a Pinterest profile; it ranged from 27 thousand to 6.7 million in the sample). That is the difference between "a pin about home offices" and "a home-decor publisher with 4.6 million monthly Pinterest views, a verified domain, and an Instagram handle". - It bills that enrichment only when it finds something.
creator-contact-foundis a separate success-billed event charged once per unique creator whose profile carried a website, email, phone or Instagram handle — never for a profile that came back empty, and never twice for a creator who pinned five of your results.
Everything else is priced to sit inside the lane: $0.003 per pin, no start fee, on the same pure-HTTP technique the 256 MB incumbents use, with a capped residential fallback they do not.
Read this before you buy rows
Five things that would otherwise turn into a refund request.
- Search rows carry reactions, not saves. Pinterest's search resource publishes
reaction_counts(60% of the 50-pin sample run had at least one) but no save / repin count. If you needsaveCount, switch on Include save counts — one extra request per pin, same price per pin, measured 0.5–1 s each at concurrency 4. Off by default to keep the sample run fast. linkfill depends on the keyword. Only 28% of pins carried an outbound link on the shipped "home office ideas" sample, which is idea-pin heavy (92%isIdeaPin). Idea pins are uploaded natively and usually have no link, so a keyword that skews to idea pins fillslinkless often. Only pins with an outbound link drops the rest before anything is fetched or billed.- The contact is on the creator, not the pin.
creatorContactEmailetc. come from the pinner's profile, and one creator often owns several pins in your results. The creator enrichment event is charged once per unique creator, but the same contact will appear on every row that creator pinned — deduplicate onpinnerUsernamedownstream if you want a creator list rather than a pin list. creatorMonthlyViewsisnullfor personal accounts. Pinterest only publishes the monthly-views figure for business accounts (creatorIsBusiness: true, 95% of creators on the sample run). Anullthere means "personal account", not "zero views".titlewas 92% filled on the sample run,description90%. Pinterest pins do not have to carry a title.altText(Pinterest's own image description) is 100% and is the reliable text field.
What you get
One row per unique pin. Every field is present on every row (63 keys, zero missing cells
measured); null means Pinterest published nothing. Dates are ISO-8601 UTC.

Every run prints its own measured counts in the log — pages per query, creators fetched, contacts found, uniqueness verification, and duplicates dropped whenever there were any.
How to run it
1. Keywords (the usual choice)
{"queries": ["boho bedroom", "vegan meal prep"],"maxPinsPerQuery": 100,"maxItems": 200}
Each keyword is walked page by page (18–25 pins per page) using Pinterest's own bookmark
cursor, until maxPinsPerQuery or the end of results. Pins that rank for more than one keyword
are returned once and billed once.
2. Video pins only
{ "queries": ["desk setup"], "scope": "videos", "maxItems": 50 }
Same row shape; rows carry videoUrl, videoDurationSec and videoThumbnailUrl wherever
Pinterest publishes the rendition.
3. Paste a Pinterest search URL
{ "startUrls": ["https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=modern%20kitchen"] }
The keyword and scope are read from the URL. Works alongside queries.
4. A pure creator-lead list
{"queries": ["wedding photographer", "interior designer portfolio"],"onlyWithCreatorContact": true,"maxItems": 300}
Keeps only pins whose creator profile carried a website, email, phone or Instagram handle. Rows removed by the filter are never billed — but the Actor still has to open the search pages and profiles to find out, so expect fewer rows per page than the limits suggest.
5. With save counts
{ "queries": ["logo design inspiration"], "includeSaveCounts": true, "maxItems": 100 }
Fills saveCount, repinCount, commentCount and shareCount from each pin's detail resource.
Same price per pin — it costs time, not money.
Scheduling and integrations
Save the input as a Task (Console → the Actor → Save as Task), then attach an Apify
Schedule — 0 6 * * 1 for a Monday-morning refresh of your keywords. The dataset is
available over the REST API and through the standard Apify integrations (Zapier, Make, n8n,
webhooks, MCP). Starting a run from the API:
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapersdelight~pinterest-search-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \-d '{"queries":["boho bedroom"],"maxItems":100}'

pin-scrapedis charged as rows are pushed (Actor.pushData(items, 'pin-scraped')), and the SDK trims each batch to what your run's max total charge can still pay for before pushing — so you get whole rows and stop, never a half-billed dataset.creator-contact-foundis charged once per unique creator, only after that creator's pins were actually shipped, and only if the profile carried a website, contact email, contact phone or Instagram handle. A profile with none of those is fetched and never charged.- Duplicates are dropped before billing. Rows removed by
onlyWithLinkoronlyWithCreatorContactare never billed. - Turning on
includeSaveCountschanges the price of nothing.
Where this sits in the lane (store prices read 2026-08-27): memo23 $0.00145/pin + start fee · easyapi $0.00299 + per-GB start fee · automation-lab $0.00345 + $0.01 start · fatihtahta $0.00399 (no start fee). Note that both fatihtahta and automation-lab price in plan tiers — those are their FREE-tier rates, and on a paid Apify plan they step down (fatihtahta to $0.00199 from GOLD; automation-lab to $0.0018 at GOLD and $0.00084 at DIAMOND). Our $0.003 is flat for everyone: on the free tier we sit upper-middle of that ladder, above it we are the expensive end. The contact enrichment is what the price buys.
Honest limits
- No save counts on search rows. Pinterest's search resource does not publish them; the opt-in per-pin fetch does (measured 200 OK on direct, datacenter and residential).
- Contacts exist on a third to three-fifths of creators, not all of them. Across the seven platform runs of the sample keyword: 25 of 43 (58%) and 25 of 48 (52%) on 2026-08-27, 24 of 47 (51%) on both 2026-08-22 runs, 15 of 48 (31%) on the earliest. B2B-flavoured keywords ("wedding photographer", "interior designer") skew higher; hobby keywords skew lower. The event is only billed when found, so a low-contact keyword costs you pins, not enrichment.
linkis keyword-dependent — 28% on an idea-pin-heavy keyword. Idea pins are native uploads and usually carry no destination URL.- Promoted pins were 0 of 320 across all seven runs to date: Pinterest does not serve ads to
this logged-out resource, so
isPromotedis carried but was nevertruein testing. - Board and user search are not here.
scopesupportspinsandvideos— the two scopes whose results are pin rows. Boards and profiles are different record types and belong in their own Actors. - No login, no cookies, no CAPTCHA solving. Only what a logged-out visitor's browser requests, with that browser's own header shape.
- Personal data. Pinner names, and the contact email / phone a business account chose to publish on its public profile, are personal data in some jurisdictions. See Legal & fair use.
How it works, and what it cost to make reliable
The search page itself is a 1.2 MB client-rendered shell with zero pins in it. The pins come from
Pinterest's own JSON resource that the page calls — /resource/BaseSearchResource/get/ — which
returns HTTP 403 to a bare request and HTTP 200 to the same request carrying the browser's own
header shape (x-app-version, a hex build id that rotates — the Actor ships the last known
value and re-reads it from the page the moment Pinterest answers 403; x-pinterest-pws-handler;
x-pinterest-source-url; x-requested-with; the cors sec-fetch-* set). No cookie, no CSRF token, no login — that was tested explicitly. Creator enrichment reads
/resource/UserResource/get/ the same way; save counts read /resource/PinResource/get/.
Transport ladder, measured 2026-08-22 through Apify:
| Rung | Search resource | Page 2 (bookmark) | Videos scope | Creator profile | Pin detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bare GET, any rung (no browser headers) | 403, 24-byte body, no vendor wall (0/9) | — | — | — | — |
| Direct, browser header shape | 200, 18 pins | 200, 25 pins, 0 overlap | 200, 25 pins | 200 | 200 |
| Apify datacenter (default) | 200, 18 pins | 200, 25 pins, 0 overlap | 200, 25 pins | 200 | 200 |
| Apify RESIDENTIAL + US | 200, 18 pins | 200, 25 pins, 0 overlap | 200, 25 pins | 200 | 200 |
Sustained load — the platform runs whose datasets we can show you:
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Shipped default, datacenter, 2026-08-27 22:29 | 50 pins from 3 pages + 43 / 43 profiles, 0 failed, 0 of 48 requests fell back to residential, 39 s |
| Shipped default, datacenter, 2026-08-27 01:46 | 50 pins from 3 pages + 48 / 48 profiles, 0 failed, 0 of 52 requests fell back, 29 s |
| Shipped default, datacenter, 2026-08-22 17:43 | 50 pins from 3 pages + 47 / 47 profiles, 0 failed, 0 of 50 requests fell back, 19 s |
| All seven platform runs to date | 320 rows, 0 profiles failed, 0 requests ever needed the residential fallback |
So the default is the cheap datacenter rung. Search and creator-profile requests retry up to three times on a fresh session (pin-detail fetches twice); a 403/429 that survives them gets one capped retry pass through RESIDENTIAL with a pinned session (cap = 20% of the run's requests, minimum 10), and the log prints "residential fallback used for N of M requests" on every run. A request that fails every rung is never pushed and never billed.
robots.txt. Pinterest's robots file declares, for every agent not on its allow-list:
User-agent: *Disallow: /
Named search-engine and preview bots are allow-listed for /resource/*/get/ specifically. This
Actor does not impersonate any of them — it sends an ordinary Chrome user-agent — and it reads
only what a logged-out visitor's browser requests. You are responsible for deciding whether that
fits your use.
Duplicates — measured
| Walk | Pins returned | Unique | Duplicates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page 1 → page 2 of one keyword | 18 + 25 | 43 | 0 |
| One keyword, 3 pages — the shipped default, on each of the six 50-pin platform runs | 50 | 50 | 0 |
Pinterest's bookmark cursor does not repeat pins within a keyword. Across keywords it can — a
popular pin ranks for "boho bedroom" and "bedroom decor" alike — and the Actor keeps a run-wide
set keyed on pinId, drops the repeat before any enrichment fetch or charge, and asserts
uniqueness across everything it pushed before the run is allowed to succeed. If that assertion
ever fails, the run errors instead of handing you a dirty dataset.
When a run fails
This Actor fails loudly rather than handing back a quiet empty dataset:
- 0 rows → the run ends with a status message naming the cause: every search page failed (with the HTTP 403/429 count, so you can tell rate-limiting from a typo), the response shape was not recognised (a Pinterest change — please report it), every pin was removed by your filters, or the keyword genuinely returned nothing.
- Stale app version → a 403 after start triggers one fresh read of Pinterest's app version from the page, then the retry.
- Duplicate leak → the uniqueness assertion fails the run.
- Run time budget → collection stops before the platform timeout, everything collected is pushed and billed, and the status message says so.
- Charge cap → the Actor reads the run's max total charge at startup and stops at the number of pins it can cover instead of fetching rows it could never deliver.
A run that returns fewer rows than you asked for because Pinterest ran out of results is a log line, not an error.

linkDomainshows who is sending Pinterest traffic where (amzn.to, Etsy shops, Shopify stores);productscarries price and stock on the rare pin where Pinterest attaches a shoppable summary — 0 of 320 rows so far, so treat it as a bonus, not as the product. - Agencies selling Pinterest management and SEO — business accounts with a website but no verified domain, or high monthly views on a tiny follower count, are a ready-made prospect list.
- Content and trend teams —

FAQ
Does this need an account, a login or cookies? No. The Actor sends the same request a logged-out browser sends, with that browser's headers. No cookie, no CSRF token, no browser automation, no CAPTCHA solving.
Why are there no save counts? Pinterest's search resource does not publish them. Switch on Include save counts and the Actor fetches each pin's detail resource — same price, about 0.5–1 s per pin.
How many pins can one keyword return?
Pinterest keeps paginating popular keywords well past 1,000. maxPinsPerQuery is the bound.
Two keywords — will I get duplicates?
Within a run, never: dedupe is on pinId and is asserted before the run can succeed.
Do I get charged for a creator with no contact?
No. creator-contact-found is charged only when the profile carried a website, email, phone or
Instagram handle — and once per creator, however many of their pins you received.
Do I need a residential proxy? No. On the latest platform run the datacenter rung fetched 3 search pages and 43 of 43 creator profiles with 0 failures, and none of the run's 48 requests fell back. The Actor falls back to RESIDENTIAL automatically (capped) if the datacenter pool is ever rate-limited.
Will a run ever succeed with zero rows? It ends SUCCEEDED with a status message naming the cause and bills nothing — a FAILED run would only hide the reason behind a red badge.
Legal & fair use
This Actor reads Pinterest's public search, profile and pin resources exactly as a logged-out
visitor's browser does. It does not log in, does not use cookies, and does not solve or bypass
any challenge. Pinterest's robots.txt carries a blanket User-agent: * / Disallow: / (quoted
above); the Actor does not impersonate any allow-listed crawler.
Rows can contain personal data — pinner names, and the contact email or phone a business account chose to publish on its public profile. You are responsible for complying with Pinterest's terms of service and with how you use the data, including GDPR, CCPA and the rules on unsolicited marketing in your jurisdiction.
