How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

Copying Pinterest data manually? Dealing with scrapers that return 10 fields when you need 30? Getting blocked every other run?

• 📸 9 image resolutions per pin. From 170px thumbnails to full originals. No more guessing which URL gives you the size you need.
• 📊 30+ structured fields per pin. Engagement, creator, board, SEO, shopping, video, dominant color. Other scrapers skip half of these.
• 🔍 Search, boards, profiles, idea pins. One scraper handles every Pinterest content type. No need for separate tools.
• 🛒 Shopping and price data included. Enable includeDetails to get product prices, sale prices, and rich pin metadata.
• 💬 Full comment threads. Enable includeComments to get every comment with author info, likes, and timestamps.
• 🎨 Dominant color and visual data. Get hex color codes, dimensions, alt text, and visual annotations for every pin.

💡 Tips for best results

1. Start with 10 items to test. Verify the output format matches your needs before running large jobs.
2. Use board URLs for targeted data. Boards return focused, curated pins. Search results are broader but noisier.
3. Enable includeDetails only when needed. It adds SEO metadata and prices but requires an extra request per pin, which increases run time.
4. Enable includeComments selectively. Comment fetching adds one request per pin. Use it only when you need the actual comment text and authors.
5. Use endPage with large boards. For boards with thousands of pins, set endPage to limit how deep the scraper paginates.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape private boards? No. Only publicly visible Pinterest content is accessible.

Are videos included? Yes. Video pins include videoUrl, videoDuration, and isPlayable fields.

What are idea pins? Idea pins (formerly story pins) are multi-page pins. The scraper returns them with isStoryPin: true and the full storyPinData object.

What does includeDetails add? SEO title and description, the original pin source for repins, and product price and shopping data. These fields require an extra request per pin.

How many image resolutions do I get? Nine: original, 736x, 474x, 236x, 170x, 60x60, 136x136, 200x150, and 400x300.

What URL formats are supported? Pins (/pin/123/), boards (/user/board-name/), user profiles (/username/), and search URLs (/search/pins/?q=keyword).
