Features

• Keyword search for all pins, or for video pins only
• Mixed URLs in one run: pins, boards, board sections, profiles and pin.it short links, each detected automatically
• Full pin details: title, description, every image size, hashtags, outbound link and creator
• Video details: MP4 or HLS links, duration, dimensions and thumbnail, when Pinterest provides them
• Board and profile records: bio, website, owner, and follower, pin and board counts
• One cost ceiling: Max records covers the whole run, across all sources and record types
• Fair sharing: keywords and URLs split Max records evenly, so the first one can't use it all
• Duplicate protection: a repeated pin is skipped and isn't charged again in the same run
• Clear run reports: RUN_SUMMARY shows what each source returned and why anything stopped early
• Honest values: anything Pinterest doesn't show is null, never a guess or a zero

Output

Results are saved to the run's dataset. You can view them in the Output tab, export them to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or fetch them through the API.

The Pins, Boards and Profiles views show the main columns for each type, and each view lists every record in the run. In a mixed run, use the recordType column in the first position to tell rows apart. A column a record doesn't have may show as undefined in the Console table and is empty in CSV.

Each run also saves RUN_SUMMARY to its key-value store, with the result and stop reason for every source.

console.log(items.length);

You can also schedule runs and send results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks, databases or dashboards.

Limitations

• Pin links: Pinterest shows logged-out visitors an encoded pinId in search results and on boards. It doesn't open a pin, so pinUrl is null there, and it can't be used as input. Profiles, board sections and pin URLs return numeric IDs and working links.
• Engagement: saveCount and commentCount are null in search results, and reactionCount isn't available on every pin.
• Result depth: Pinterest decides how many results it shows logged-out visitors, and one keyword may stop at several hundred pins. For more, use several specific keywords.
• Board depth: Pinterest often limits how far logged-out visitors can page through a board. A run may return only the first page, about 25 pins, even on a large board. The source then reports FEED_CUT_SHORT in RUN_SUMMARY, and you pay only for what was delivered.
• Availability: Pinterest can limit logged-out access on a connection, so results may vary between runs. Search reports SEARCH_UNAVAILABLE when it can't return results. You can start a new run or choose a route in the Proxy setting.
• Public content only: private boards and login-only data aren't available. Images and videos are returned as links, not downloaded.
• Your data use: you're responsible for how you use the results. Check Pinterest's terms and the laws that apply to you, especially for personal data and copyrighted images.
