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.

Get images, descriptions, links, and tags. ### What you get Extract Pinterest pin data including images, descriptions, outbound links, pinner info, and tags. Search by keyword, scrape a user's pins, browse boards, or fetch specific pin details. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Pin title | | `description` | Pin description | | `image_url` | Pin image URL (full resolution) | | `link` | Outbound link from pin | | `pinner_name` | Pinner display name | | `pinner_username` | Pinner username | | `board_name` | Board name | | `tags` | Related tags | | `url` | Pinterest pin URL | ### Example output ```json { "title": "Modern Kitchen Design Ideas", "description": "Minimalist kitchen with marble countertops and brass fixtures", "image_url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/...", "link": "https://example.com/kitchen-design", "pinner_name": "Home Decor Daily", "pinner_username": "homedecordaily", "board_name": "Kitchen Inspiration", "tags": ["kitchen", "modern", "minimalist"], "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/..." } ```` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------|----------|-------------| | `queries` | Yes | Search terms, usernames, board URLs, or pin URLs | | `maxResults` | No | Max pins (default: 50) | ### Use cases - **Content creators**: Research trending visual content and ideas - **Marketers**: Analyze popular pins and outbound link patterns - **E-commerce**: Track product-related pins and shopping trends - **Designers**: Research visual trends and inspiration boards ### Limitations - Private boards cannot be scraped - Some pins may not have outbound links - Image URLs may change over time # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search terms to find pins for. Examples: 'minimalist bedroom', 'web design inspiration', 'healthy recipes'. ## `usernames` (type: `array`): List of Pinterest usernames to scrape pins from. Example: 'pinterest', 'interiordesign'. ## `boardUrls` (type: `array`): List of Pinterest board URLs to scrape pins from. Example: 'https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/'. ## `pinUrls` (type: `array`): List of specific Pinterest pin URLs to scrape. Example: 'https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789/'. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum total number of pins to scrape across all inputs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "minimalist kitchen design" ], "usernames": [], "boardUrls": [], "pinUrls": [], "maxResults": 100 } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "minimalist kitchen design" ], "maxResults": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("thirdwatch/pinterest-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
