Any keyword, any language, any niche. Examples:

Max Total Pins

Set a single number for the total pins you want across all queries combined. The actor splits it evenly automatically.

Example: maxTotalPins: 1000 with 5 queries → 200 pins per query → ~1,000 results total.

Set to 0 to use Max Pins Per Query instead.

Max Pins Per Query

Used when Max Total Pins is set to 0. Controls how many pins to scrape per individual keyword.

Pinterest loads approximately 250–400 pins per search session depending on the keyword.

Proxy Configuration

Defaults to US-based Apify Proxy so results reflect what US Pinterest users see. Change the country code to get localized results from any country.

How to get 1,000+ results in one run

Set your input like this:

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "digital marketing",
    "make money online",
    "affiliate marketing",
    "passive income",
    "online business"
  ],
  "maxTotalPins": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

This will scrape 200 pins per query × 5 queries = ~1,000 results in a single run.

Example output

{
  "query": "digital marketing",
  "title": "10 Digital Marketing Strategies That Actually Work in 2025",
  "description": "Discover the top digital marketing strategies used by 6-figure marketers. From SEO to social media, these proven tactics will grow your business fast.",
  "pinUrl": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789",
  "imageUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/cd/ef/abcdef123456.jpg",
  "outboundLink": "https://example.com/digital-marketing-guide",
  "creatorName": "Marketing Pro Tips"
}

Notes

• Pinterest limits the number of pins returned per search session to approximately 250–400 regardless of scroll depth. To get more results, use multiple keywords.
• Results are US-based by default. Change apifyProxyCountry for localized results.
• The actor runs one query at a time to stay within memory limits and ensure stable, complete results.
