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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Pinterest Scraper ![Pinterest Scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/tfkWqJkGn7gWfWfeV/records/banner.png) Extract pins, boards, profiles and search results from Pinterest at scale, with the richest field set available: images at every resolution, engagement metrics, creator and board profiles, product data and outbound links. No login, no API key required. --- ### 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. --- ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchQueries` | array | `[]` | Keywords to search. Each entry becomes its own search.

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 *** ### Need a custom scraper? **[Unfenced Group](https://www.unfencedgroup.nl)** builds Apify actors for any website — for free.
