Notes

• Public data only: The Actor accepts no Pinterest credentials or session cookies. Private pins and comments that Pinterest exposes only to signed-in users are intentionally inaccessible.
• Proxy: Direct access is the default. You can opt into an Apify or custom proxy through proxyConfiguration; proxy credentials are never written to dataset records.
• Comment availability: Not all pins have comments enabled. Pins with no comments will be skipped gracefully.
• Replies: Comment threading data (parent/reply relationships) is included when available.
