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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Pinterest Video Scraper — Pin Video Metadata Extractor > Extract **Pinterest pin video metadata**: title, duration, dimensions, uploader, formats. **Only video pins are supported** (image pins are not). Supports batch URL input, no video download — clean structured metadata only. HTTP-only, **$0.002 per pin**. ⭐ **Bookmark this Pinterest Video Scraper** — Apify ranks actors by bookmarks, so it directly helps the visibility of this scraper on the Apify Store. ### What is the Pinterest Video Scraper? The **Pinterest Video Scraper** is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/) video pins. Pinterest has quietly become a major short-form video platform (especially in lifestyle, DIY, fashion, food niches). This scraper accepts a list of pin URLs and returns title, duration, video dimensions (width/height), uploader, upload date, formats available (MP4, HLS), thumbnail. Image pins are not supported by this actor — only video pins. For images, a separate downloader is needed. ### Use cases - **Lifestyle content research** — analyze Pinterest top video pins in DIY, fashion, food niches. - **Creator-economy analytics** — track which Pinterest creators are gaining traction with video pins. - **Brand monitoring** — daily refresh of your brand's video pins and competitor pins. - **Trend forecasting** — Pinterest is often 6 months ahead of TikTok in lifestyle trends. - **Affiliate marketing research** — find top-performing video pins in your niche for inspiration. - **AI training data** — pin metadata + thumbnails for content recommendation models. ### Input ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/", "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/9876543210/" ] } ```` ### Output ```json { "pin_id": "1234567890", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/", "title": "Example DIY Project", "type": "video", "duration_sec": 47, "width": 720, "height": 1280, "uploader": "example_creator", "uploaded_at": "2026-04-15", "thumbnail": "https://i.pinimg.com/...", "video_url_mp4": "https://v1.pinimg.com/videos/mc/...mp4" } ``` ### Pricing **PAY\_PER\_EVENT — $0.002 per video pin** (= $2 per 1,000). Failed fetches not charged. ### FAQ — Pinterest API alternatives **Pinterest official API alternative?** The official Pinterest API requires Business account approval, has limited bulk access, and excludes some fields. This scraper has no auth, no quota. **Why only video pins?** Image pins are radically different in structure and use case (search, save, click-out). This actor is purpose-built for the video pin format. **Does it scrape boards or user pages?** Single-pin URLs only in v1. Board/user expansion is on the roadmap — DM if you need it sooner. **Cookie required?** Not for public pins. Some private boards require cookie auth. *** ⭐ **Found this useful?
