## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Pinterest Board Pins Scraper

The Actor lists Pins from public Pinterest boards. It saves Pin titles and descriptions together with board context, image URLs, save counts, destination information, and original-creator data where those values are supplied.

### Board input and collection limit

Give one board per line — either the board's full Pinterest URL or its numeric board ID.

```json
{
  "board_id_or_url": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/fashion/whimsical-picnic-day-outfits/",
    "424605139808111760"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

Use the board URL itself, not a board-section URL. `maxItems` applies per board and defaults to `50`; `0` removes the limit.

A numeric board ID is used directly. A URL carries only the owner and slug, so it costs one extra lookup to turn into an ID — the [Pinterest Boards Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/pinterest-boards-scraper) emits that ID as `id`, so feeding its output in here skips the lookup entirely.

Each Pin row carries `source_board_id_or_url`, the input it came from, so rows stay attributable when several boards are given.

Set `addonPinDetails` to `true` to fetch full Pin detail for each board Pin — comment totals and the complete media record under `pin_details`. Set `addonPinnerProfile` to `true` to fetch the full public profile of the account that saved each board Pin, attached under `pinner_profile`. Each add-on costs one extra request per Pin and is billed per enriched row.

### Saved Pin data

Each item can contain `id`, `title`, `description`, `dominant_color`, `image_url`, `repin_count`, `is_video`, `videos`, `board`, `domain`, `link`, `native_creator`, and `pinner`.

```json
{
  "id": "893683119901952944",
  "dominant_color": "#a39b87",
  "repin_count": 129,
  "is_video": false,
  "board": {
    "id": "893683188497204781",
    "name": "Whimsical picnic day outfits"
  },
  "domain": "Uploaded by user",
  "image_url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/55/ef/ce/55efcee8ed929020aee78820664e4d43.jpg"
}
```

This is a live-verified board-Pin result. Its source title and description were empty, so neither appears in the example. `link` is omitted when the Pin has no destination URL.

### Partial collections

Pagination stops when the requested limit is reached, the source returns an empty page, or no further page is available. A board with fewer available Pins than `maxItems` therefore produces fewer rows.

For detail about one returned Pin, pass its `id` to the [Pinterest Pin Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/pinterest-pin-scraper). For keyword discovery across boards, use the [Pinterest Search Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/pinterest-search-scraper).

# Actor input Schema

## `board_id_or_url` (type: `array`):

Pinterest board IDs or full pinterest.com/<owner>/<board-slug>/ URLs, one per line. A numeric ID skips the lookup a URL needs.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum Pins to save per board. Set `0` to continue until no further Pins are available.

## `addonPinDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch full Pin detail (save count, comment count, and media) for each Pin found. This makes one extra request per Pin and adds a charge per enriched row.

## `addonPinnerProfile` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch the full public Pinterest profile of the account that saved each Pin, attached under `pinner_profile`. This makes one extra request per Pin and adds a charge per enriched row.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "board_id_or_url": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/fashion/whimsical-picnic-day-outfits/",
    "424605139808111760"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "addonPinDetails": false,
  "addonPinnerProfile": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

All records scraped by this run

# 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 = {
    "board_id_or_url": [
        "https://www.pinterest.com/fashion/whimsical-picnic-day-outfits/"
    ],
    "maxItems": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("thenetaji/pinterest-board-pins-scraper").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) => {
    console.dir(item);

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

    "maxItems": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("thenetaji/pinterest-board-pins-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "board_id_or_url": [
    "https://www.pinterest.com/fashion/whimsical-picnic-day-outfits/"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20
}' |
apify call thenetaji/pinterest-board-pins-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,thenetaji/pinterest-board-pins-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
