Why this scraper?

🔍 Search every tab

Search Pinterest by keyword across pins, videos, boards or users. Paginates automatically through as many results as you set.

📌 Complete pin data

Title, description, alt text, outbound link, source domain, dominant colour, and images at five resolutions up to the original. Videos return the playable file URL.

📈 Engagement metrics

Save (repin) count, comment count, reactions and done count — the signals you need for trend research and content planning. Available when detail fetching is enabled.

👤 Creator and board profiles

Pinner username, full name, follower count, pin and board counts, verified-merchant flag and avatar. Board name, URL, pin count and owner.

🛍️ Product data

For shoppable pins: price, currency, brand, availability, product name, rating and review count.

🔗 Direct URLs

Feed pin, board, profile or search URLs directly and pull them without writing a query.

{

}

Schedule this input in the Apify Scheduler (for example daily at 07:00) to keep an always-fresh dataset.

💰 Pricing

$1.19 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully retrieved pins. Failed retries are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.12
1,000	~$1.19
10,000	~$11.9
100,000	~$119

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.79 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the Max results cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

---

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 results	under 1 minute
1,000 results	2–4 minutes
10,000 results	20–35 minutes

Enabling fetchDetails adds one request per pin, so detail-mode runs take longer than list-mode runs of the same size.

---

Known limitations

• Engagement metrics (saves, likes, comments) are only available with fetchDetails: true — Pinterest does not include them in search results.
• Comment threads are only fetched when both fetchDetails and includeComments are enabled.
• Product fields are only populated for shoppable pins; regular pins return isProduct: false.
• Pinterest search caps how deep any single query can page; very large result targets are best split across several specific queries.

---

Technical details

• Source: pinterest.com — pins, boards, profiles and search
• Coverage: global, keyword and URL driven
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
