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 Start.** No 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 results.** When the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV.

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. ### Good for - Find popular pins and outbound shop links for a product keyword. - Collect the boards and board stats (pins, followers) of a brand profile. - Build a list of image URLs, titles and colors for a mood board or a dataset. ### Not a good fit - No login. Private boards, secret boards and your own account data are not available. - A board gives only about 100 of its newest pins without login. The Actor tells you this in the run summary when a board has more pins. - Pinterest decides how deep a search goes. One keyword usually gives 300–970 pins, and the number changes from day to day. - Comments as text, related pins, board sections and video files are not collected. ## Price Pay per event.

One keyword usually gives 300 to 970 pins. ### Why do I get only about 100 pins from a board? Without login, Pinterest shows about 100 of the newest pins of a board. ### Does it download the images? No. It saves image links that you can download later. ### Can I get pin comments? Not in this version. You get a reaction count, and a comment count in search with pin details. ### Do I need a Pinterest account or cookies? No. The Actor reads only what a logged-out visitor sees. Do not put cookies or passwords in the input. ### Why do I get different pins than yesterday? Pinterest changes search results all the time and shows logged-out visitors different results. Each run is a snapshot of that moment. ### Is the output the same as other Pinterest scrapers? The rows are flat: one level, no nested objects. If you move from another Pinterest Actor, map the field names using the tables above. ### Can I scrape comments, related pins or board sections? Not in this version. You get `reactionCount` in every pin row. `commentCount` comes only from pin details, which work for search pins with a numeric ID. ## Data fields - `type` (string): Row type: pin or board. Use the Pins or Boards view. - `pinId` (string): Pinterest pin ID (pin rows). - `url` (string): Link to the pin or board on pinterest.com. - `title` (string): Pin title as shown on Pinterest (pin rows). - `description` (string): Pin or board description. - `altText` (string): Image alt text written by Pinterest or the pinner. - `imageUrl` (string): Largest available image URL on i.pinimg.com. The image is linked, not downloaded. - `imageWidth` (integer): Image width in pixels. - `imageHeight` (integer): Image height in pixels. - `link` (string): Outbound website link of the pin; null for pins uploaded without a link. - `domain` (string): Domain of the outbound link, e.g. etsy.com; null for uploaded pins. - `isVideo` (boolean): true for video pins. - `isPromoted` (boolean): true for promoted (ad) pins. - `boardId` (string): Pinterest board ID (board rows). - `boardName` (string): Name of that board. - `boardUrl` (string): URL of that board. - `pinnerUsername` (string): Username of the account that saved the pin. - `pinnerFullName` (string): Display name of that account. - `pinnerFollowerCount` (integer): Followers of that account. - `saves` (integer): How many times the pin was saved. Board and profile pins include it; search pins usually not (only numeric-ID pins with 'Try to add saves' on). - `commentCount` (integer): Comments on the pin, when Pinterest provides it. - `reactionCount` (integer): Total reactions on the pin. - `createdAt` (string): When the pin or board was created (ISO 8601, UTC). - `dominantColor` (string): Dominant image color as #rrggbb. - `name` (string): Board name (board rows). - `pinCount` (integer): Pins on the board. - `followerCount` (integer): Board followers. - `sectionCount` (integer): Sections on the board. - `collaboratorCount` (integer): Collaborators on the board. - `isCollaborative` (boolean): true for group boards. - `ownerUsername` (string): Username of the board owner. - `ownerFullName` (string): Display name of the board owner. - `coverImageUrl` (string): Board cover image URL. - `mode` (string): Mode that produced the row. - `searchQuery` (string): Keyword for search rows; null for board and profile rows. - `inputUrl` (string): Pinterest URL of the search, board or profile the row came from. - `input` (string): Your keyword or URL exactly as entered. - `position` (integer): 1-based position of the row within its keyword, board or profile, in Pinterest's order. - `fetchedAt` (string): When the row was read (ISO 8601, UTC). ## Input settings - `mode` (string, required): search: keywords or pinterest.com/search URLs. board: board URLs (pinterest.com/username/board-name/). profile: profile URLs or usernames. - `queries` (array): Search mode: up to 50 keywords, e.g. home office ideas. Each keyword is searched separately; duplicates are searched once. In board or profile mode you may put board paths (username/board) or usernames here instead of URLs. - `urls` (array): Board URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/), profile URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/username/) or search URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=...). Any Pinterest country domain works. Pin, section and non-Pinterest URLs are skipped and listed in RUN_SUMMARY. - `resultType` (string): pins: one row per pin. boards: one row per board (board search results, or the boards of a profile). Board mode always returns pins. A search URL's own /pins/ or /boards/ path wins over this setting. - `maxItems` (integer): Stop each keyword, board or profile after this many rows (1–1000). You pay per saved row. - `includePinDetails` (boolean): Pinterest search pages do not include the saves count, outbound link for some pins, or comment count. When on, the Actor opens search pins that have a numeric ID to fill these fields (one extra request per pin, same price per row). Most search pins now have new-style IDs (e1_…) that this lookup does not accept; they keep these fields empty. For saves, use board or profile mode. - `proxyConfiguration` (object): Apify Proxy is used by default so Pinterest sees ordinary visitor IPs. Change only if Pinterest blocks runs (try the RESIDENTIAL group). ## Step by step on Apify 1. Open the Input tab. 2. Keep What to scrape = `search` and type a keyword in Search keywords, for example `home office ideas`. 3. Keep Max results per keyword or URL = `20` (the form's prefill; the API default is 50). 4. Click Start. 5. Open the Output tab and the Pins view. Check the `title`, `imageUrl` and `link` columns. ## Use cases | Task | Input | You get | Key fields | Next step | |---|---|---|---|---| | Trend and content research | `mode: search`, `queries` | pin | `title`, `description`, `reactionCount`, `createdAt` | sort by `createdAt` in a spreadsheet | | Find shops and outbound links | `mode: search`, `queries` | pin | `domain`, `link` (when Pinterest returns it) | group by `domain` | | Competitor or brand boards | `mode: profile`, `urls`, `resultType: boards` | board | `name`, `pinCount`, `followerCount` | compare profiles | | Collect one board | `mode: board`, `urls` | pin | `imageUrl`, `title`, `dominantColor` | mood board, image dataset | ## Tips - Sort by saves in a spreadsheet to find the top pins. - Group rows by domain to see which shops get the most pins. - Raise the run timeout for more than about 2,000 rows. ## Limits - Pin or board row: one event per row saved to the Dataset. - Up to 50 keywords and URLs per run, up to 1,000 rows each. Our largest test: 10 keywords × 1000 gave 9,097 rows in about 5 minutes with no blocks. - Search depth is set by Pinterest: usually 300–970 pins per keyword. - Boards: about 100 newest pins without login. - Up to 3 inputs at a time and up to 4 requests to Pinterest at a time. - The default run timeout is 300 seconds. For more than about 2,000 rows, raise the timeout in the run options. ## Sample result ```json { "type": "pin", "pinId": "e1_AfqPShxiIokPON5Bkrb3QXdJSK8aiWmECI9gI4-cnk4XlqGBCAA", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/e1_AfqPShxiIokPON5Bkrb3QXdJSK8aiWmECI9gI4-cnk4XlqGBCAA/", "title": "How to Make a Geometric Hanging Mobile Decoration", "description": "Follow along with our easy tutorial for a hanging abstract mobile decoration. …", "altText": "an image of a table with food on it and the title how to make a geometric hanging mobile decoration", "imageUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/22/24/85/222485d96c8714a333d90bf8d5157e5e.jpg", "imageWidth": 600, "imageHeight": 900, "link": "https://www.marthastewart.com/265650/the-modern-baby-shower", "domain": "marthastewart.com", "isVideo": false, "isPromoted": false, "boardId": "32088284784055018", "boardName": "Baby Shower Planning and Ideas", "boardUrl": "https://www.pinterest.com/marthastewart/baby-shower-planning-and-ideas/", "pinnerUsername": "marthastewart", "pinnerFullName": "Martha Stewart", "pinnerFollowerCount": null, "saves": 359, "commentCount": null, "reactionCount": 0, "createdAt": "2020-07-16T01:25:28.000Z", "dominantColor": "#d3d5d1", "mode": "board", "searchQuery": null, "inputUrl": "https://www.pinterest.com/marthastewart/baby-shower-planning-and-ideas/", "input": "https://www.pinterest.com/marthastewart/baby-shower-planning-and-ideas/", "position": 3, "fetchedAt": "2026-10-18T12:07:33.659Z" } ``` ## Use it from code Actor ID: `cliqtomedia/pinterest-search-scraper` ```python 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) ``` ```bash 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"]}' ``` ```python # 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) ``` run-sync waits up to 300 seconds; for longer runs start a run and use a webhook.
