Pinterest Search Scraper: Pins and Boards

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: home office ideas in Search keywords. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Pinterest Search Scraper gets pins and boards from Pinterest search, public boards and public profiles, with no login and no cookies, and saves them as clean rows: title, description, image URL, outbound link, board, pinner, saves, created date and dominant color.

• search: you give keywords (or pinterest.com/search/... URLs). You get the pins, or the boards, that Pinterest shows for each keyword.
• board: you give board URLs. You get the pins of each board.
• profile: you give profile URLs or usernames. You get the pins of the profile, or its boards.

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/pinterest-search-scraper. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/pinterest-search-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "search",
    "queries": [
        "home office ideas"
    ]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~pinterest-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "search", "queries": ["home office ideas"]}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/pinterest-search-scraper")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"mode": "search", "queries": ["home office ideas"]}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
