Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Extract images, videos, metadata, and engagement stats. ### What it does This actor extracts data from Pinterest by keyword search or direct URLs. It supports: - **Search** - Find pins by keyword - **Pin URLs** - Get detailed data for specific pins - **Profile URLs** - Get user info and their pins - **Board URLs** - Get all pins from a board ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |-------|------|-------------|---------| | `search` | string | Keyword to search on Pinterest | - | | `startUrls` | array | List of Pinterest URLs to scrape | - | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of items to scrape (0 = unlimited) | 50 | | `endPage` | integer | Maximum pages to paginate (0 = unlimited) | 0 | | `proxy` | object | Proxy configuration | Apify Proxy | At least one of `search` or `startUrls` must be provided. #### Supported URL formats - `https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456/` - Single pin - `https://www.pinterest.com/username/` - User profile + pins - `https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/` - Board pins - `https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=query` - Search results #### Example input ```json { "search": "minimalist interior design", "maxItems": 50, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/292452569572809169/", "https://www.pinterest.com/welovehomeblog/", "https://www.pinterest.com/welovehomeblog/interior-design-ideas/" ], "maxItems": 100, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` ### Output #### Pin data Each pin includes the following fields: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `id` | string | Pin ID | | `url` | string | Pinterest pin URL | | `title` | string | Pin title | | `description` | string | Pin description | | `created_at` | string | Creation timestamp | | `images` | object | Image URLs at multiple resolutions (236x, 474x, 736x, orig) | | `dominant_color` | string | Dominant hex color of the image | | `link` | string | Source/destination URL | | `pinner_id` | string | Creator's user ID | | `pinner_username` | string | Creator's username | | `pinner_name` | string | Creator's display name | | `pinner_followers` | integer | Creator's follower count | | `board_id` | string | Board ID | | `board_name` | string | Board name | | `board_url` | string | Board URL | | `save_count` | integer | Number of saves/repins | | `comment_count` | integer | Number of comments | | `is_video` | boolean | Whether the pin is a video | | `video_url` | string | Video URL (HLS stream) if applicable | #### User profile data When scraping a profile URL, the first item in the dataset is the user's profile: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `type` | string | Always `"user"` | | `id` | string | User ID | | `username` | string | Username | | `full_name` | string | Display name | | `bio` | string | Profile bio | | `follower_count` | integer | Number of followers | | `following_count` | integer | Number of accounts followed | | `pin_count` | integer | Total pins | | `board_count` | integer | Total boards | | `image_url` | string | Profile image URL | | `website_url` | string | Website URL | | `is_verified` | boolean | Verified merchant status | | `profile_url` | string | Pinterest profile URL | #### Example output ```json { "id": "292452569572809169", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/292452569572809169/", "title": "", "description": "THIS MAKES ME CRY...", "created_at": "Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:46:12 +0000", "images": { "170x": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/0b/d6/e9/0bd6e9...jpg", "236x": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/0b/d6/e9/0bd6e9...jpg", "474x": "https://i.pinimg.com/474x/0b/d6/e9/0bd6e9...jpg", "736x": "https://i.pinimg.com/736x/0b/d6/e9/0bd6e9...jpg", "orig": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/d6/e9/0bd6e9...jpg" }, "dominant_color": "#6c5d56", "link": "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMPX6u3pAN0/", "pinner_id": "292452706960849245", "pinner_username": "dalilacristina1", "pinner_name": "Dalila Cristina", "pinner_followers": 11, "board_id": "292452638242391545", "board_name": "Devocional 2025", "board_url": "https://www.pinterest.com/dalilacristina1/devocional-2025/", "save_count": 316, "comment_count": 0, "is_video": true, "video_url": "https://v1.pinimg.com/videos/iht/hls/8f/03/99/8f0399...m3u8" } ``` ### Limitations - Board scraping extracts the initial set of pins from the page (~15-25 pins). Full board pagination requires authentication. - Pin detail pages may not include the pinner's display name (relay response limitation). - No login/cookie support — only public data is accessible. # Actor input Schema ## `search` (type: `string`): Keyword to search on Pinterest. Results will be pins matching this query. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of Pinterest URLs to scrape. Supports pin URLs, user profile URLs, board URLs, and search URLs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of items to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `endPage` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages to paginate through. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the scraper.
