Pinterest Profile Scraper

Cheap, normalized public-profile scraping for Pinterest — one clean record per handle.

What it does

Give it a list of Pinterest handles (or profile URLs); it returns one normalized record per handle: profile identity, follower/engagement counts, external links, profile-picture URL (+ sha256 if downloaded), and platform-specific extras under platformData. Status is always one of ok | not_found | private | restricted | error.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
handles	array	Handles or profile URLs (required)
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Optional
maxConcurrency	integer	Parallel requests (default 8)
fetchProfilePic	boolean	Download the image (URL is always included)

Transport & cost

• Transport: UserResource JSON API over direct egress (free).
• Cost: free over direct egress (~$0.012/1k if forced through residential). No direct Apify comparison published.
• ~2-6 KB UserResource call per handle; clean HTTP 404 for missing users.

Pricing (pay-per-result)

• Recommended: $0.50 per 1,000 results ($0.00050 / result).
• Cost to run ≈ $0.10/1k → this is ~5x markup (set to undercut the market where needed).
• Incumbent comparison: no published comparison.
