Pinterest Pin Detail Scraper

Extract full metadata for any Pinterest pin in bulk — title, description, image URL, outbound link, save count, dominant color, pinner profile, and board context — in a clean structured JSON output.

Why use this actor

• No account / no login required — just give it a Pinterest pin URL or a numeric pin ID.
• No API key needed — Pinterest's public API is locked behind a developer review; this actor returns the same data the pin page shows.
• Rich pin metadata — title, description, image URL with dimensions, dominant color, alt text, hashtags, outbound link, and the pin's save count.
• Pinner + board context — every record includes the creator's username, display name, profile picture, follower count, and the board the pin lives in.
• Bulk input — pass a list of pin URLs or IDs in one run; one clean dataset row per pin.
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, and databases — every row carries _input, _source, _scrapedAt envelope fields so you can join results back to your input list.

How it works

1. You provide a list of Pinterest pin URLs (e.g. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/424605071126047814/) or bare numeric pin IDs (424605071126047814).
2. The actor opens each pin the same way Pinterest's web app does and reads its record — image, title, description, link, save count, pinner, and board — then assembles a flat JSON row.
3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You do not need to manage scrapers, browsers, or rotating IPs — all handled internally.

Field	Type	Description
_input	string	The pin URL or ID exactly as you supplied it. Use this to join results back to your input list.
_source	string	Internal tag for the path used to fetch the record. S1-primary means the fastest, richest path; values starting with S2-fallback / S3-fallback mean a fallback was used.
_scrapedAt	string	ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when the record was scraped.
id	string	Pinterest's numeric pin ID (stable across edits).
title	string	Pin title or headline. May be null for image-only pins.
description	string	Pinner-written caption. May be empty or whitespace if the pinner left it blank.
link	string	Outbound destination URL the pin links to (article, product page, etc.). null for self-uploaded pins with no link.
dominantColor	string	Hex color string Pinterest computes from the image (e.g. #e3e0df). Useful for palette / mood grouping.
imageUrl	string	Direct CDN URL of the pin image at the largest available size.
imageWidth	integer	Width of imageUrl in pixels.
imageHeight	integer	Height of imageUrl in pixels.
videoUrl	string	Direct video URL for video pins. null for image pins.
isVideo	boolean	true if the pin is a video pin.
saveCount	integer	Number of times the pin has been saved (re-pinned).
commentCount	integer	Number of comments on the pin. May be null on the fallback path.
reactionCounts	object	Map of reaction-type id to count (e.g. {"1": 1705, "5": 1}). May be null on the fallback path.
closeupUnifiedDescription	string	Long-form expanded description Pinterest sometimes shows on the closeup view.
createdAt	string	ISO timestamp when the pin was created. May be null on the fallback path.
altText	string	Accessibility alt text the pinner set on the image.
hashtags	array	List of hashtag strings extracted from the description.
pinner	object	Creator profile — id, username, fullName, profileImageUrl, followerCount.
board	object	Board context — id, name, url (relative path), pinCount.
richSummary	object	Structured rich-pin metadata (recipe, product, article) when the pin carries it. null otherwise.
shopMetadata	object	Shop / merchant metadata for shoppable pins. null otherwise.

Error envelope

Pins that don't exist or fail to fetch return a structured error instead of crashing the run:

{
  "_input": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/000000000000000000/",
  "_error": "not_found",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-05-18T11:30:30.012345+00:00"
}

Other _error values: invalid_input (pin URL could not be parsed) and fetch_failed (pin record could not be retrieved after retries). Filter on _error to triage failed rows.

Pricing

This actor is billed per result: $7.50 per 1,000 pins (Tier 5). Each successful pin = 1 result. Errors (not-found, fetch-failed) are not billed.

Notes

• Accepts both full pin URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/<id>/) and bare numeric IDs.
• Private and deleted pins return {"_error": "not_found", "_input": "..."} — they are not billed.
• Video pins (including idea / story pins with video pages) populate videoUrl and set isVideo: true. Image-only pins leave videoUrl as null.
• The link field is null for self-uploaded pins that don't point anywhere outside Pinterest.
• Some fields (commentCount, reactionCounts, createdAt, altText) may be null when the actor falls back from S1-primary to S2-fallback — the core image, title, save count, pinner, and board are always populated when the pin exists.
