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.

This scraper works without login for all public pins. Login is only needed for private content. **Q: How many pins can I scrape per run?** A: Up to 10,000 pins per run. For larger datasets, split into multiple runs. **Q: Does this work with video pins?** A: Yes! Video pins include video URL and metadata in the output. **Q: Can I track price changes over time?** A: Yes. Store each run's output and compare `products[].price` fields to detect changes. **Q: Are comments included?** A: Only when `includeComments` is enabled. Includes nested replies (2 levels deep). *** ### ⚠️ Troubleshooting **Getting blocked?** - Enable Apify Proxy in the input (recommended) - Reduce `maxResults` to slow down requests - Add delays between requests **Missing product data?** - Not all pins are product pins. Check `is_product_pin` field - Some merchants don't provide rich metadata to Pinterest **Incomplete comments?** - Some comments may be filtered by Pinterest - Increase `maxComments` to fetch more replies **Need help?** Contact us through Apify Console or check our documentation. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Add Pinterest pin URLs to scrape (e.g., https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789/) ## `includeComments` (type: `boolean`): Fetch comments for each pin. When enabled, includes top-level comments and nested replies. ## `maxComments` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of comments to fetch per pin (only used when includeComments is true) ## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`): Configure proxy rotation.
