## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Pinterest Downloader

> Download Pinterest videos, images, pins, and post text in one browser workflow.

![Pinterest Downloader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serpdownloaders/pinterest-video-downloader/main/assets/workflow-preview.webp)

Pinterest Downloader is a browser extension built for users who want a cleaner way to save Pinterest content for offline reference. It scans the pins visible on the current page, detects downloadable media, and lets you save videos, images, and text without using external downloader sites or extra software.

- Save Pinterest videos as MP4 files
- Download images and pin media in available source quality
- Export visible text for notes, inspiration tracking, or archiving
- Bulk-download visible pins from the current page
- Keep local copies of boards, search results, and pin collections

### Why Pinterest Downloader

Pinterest is built for browsing and collecting ideas, not for straightforward downloads. Videos are streamed, image assets are distributed through multiple formats and sizes, and there is no clean built-in export flow if you want a local archive of the pins you are viewing.

Pinterest Downloader is built for that exact workflow. It scans visible pins on the page, groups the detected assets, and gives you a direct way to save useful Pinterest content in standard local formats.

### Features

- Video detection for visible Pinterest pins
- MP4 export for supported Pinterest video pins
- Image and board-asset detection for visible pins
- TXT export for visible pin text and notes
- Bulk-download workflow for visible pins on the page
- Overlay and popup-based download actions
- Source-quality image saving where available
- Rescan workflow after loading more pins
- Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex

### How It Works

1. Install the extension from the latest release.
2. Open Pinterest and go to a board, search results page, profile, or pin view.
3. Scroll until the pins you want are visible on the page.
4. Open the extension popup or use the visible controls on the page.
5. Download individual items or save the visible set in bulk.
6. Open the exported files from your Downloads folder.

### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Content from Pinterest

1. Install Pinterest Downloader from the latest GitHub release.
2. Open Pinterest and navigate to the board, pin, or search view you want to save from.
3. Scroll until the target pins and media are loaded and visible.
4. Click the extension button to scan the current view.
5. Review the detected videos, images, and text entries.
6. Download individual items or run a bulk download for everything visible.
7. Open the saved MP4, image, or TXT files from your Downloads folder.

### Supported Formats

- Pinterest videos: MP4
- Images and pin assets: source format where available
- Pin text: TXT

Saved exports are designed to be easier to keep, organize, and reuse in a normal desktop workflow.

### Who It's For

- Pinterest users saving pins for offline viewing or reference
- Designers and creators building local inspiration archives
- Researchers documenting visible boards or search results
- Social media planners saving visual reference sets
- Anyone who wants a browser-based workflow instead of downloader sites

### Common Use Cases

- Save a Pinterest video pin for offline viewing
- Download all visible images from a board or search page
- Export pin text into plain text files for notes
- Bulk-download visible content from a profile or board
- Archive inspiration pins into a local folder

### Troubleshooting

**The extension is not finding a video pin**  
Make sure the pin is visible and the media has fully loaded before scanning.

**An image pin is missing**  
Scroll until the pin is fully visible, then run the scan again.

**Bulk download missed some pins**  
Pinterest loads content dynamically, so scroll further and rescan to add more visible items.

**The text export looks incomplete**  
Open the full pin view before scanning if you want more visible text context.

**The pin requires login or restricted access**  
The extension only works on content you can already access in your current Pinterest session.

### Trial & Access

### FAQ

**Can it save Pinterest videos?**  
Yes. Supported Pinterest video pins can be exported as MP4 files.

**Can I download images too?**  
Yes. Visible image pins can be saved in the source format when available.

**Can I bulk-download a board page?**  
Yes. The extension supports bulk export for visible pins on the current page.

**Do I need extra software?**  
No. Everything runs through the browser extension.

**What if I load more pins by scrolling?**  
Rescan after scrolling so the newly visible pins get added.

### License

This repository is distributed under the proprietary SERP Apps license in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/serpdownloaders/pinterest-video-downloader/blob/main/LICENSE) file. Review that file before copying, modifying, or redistributing any part of this project.

### Notes

- Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save
- The extension only captures content currently visible and loaded on the page
- Scroll to load more pins if you want a larger batch
- Video and image quality depend on what Pinterest exposes for that pin

### About Pinterest

Pinterest is a visual discovery platform built around pins, boards, images, short videos, and saved ideas. While it is easy to browse and collect content inside the site, it does not provide a simple built-in export flow for mixed pin assets like videos, images, and text together. Pinterest Downloader simplifies that process for users who need a local archive workflow.

# Actor input Schema

## `listingNotice` (type: `string`):

Optional informational field only. This actor currently serves as the public listing surface for the browser extension and does not yet expose a finalized runtime API contract.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "listingNotice": "No runtime input is required yet. See the README and product page for the current extension workflow."
}
````

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("serpdownloaders/pinterest-video-downloader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
