They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 Image Downloader Pinterest Image Downloader extracts direct image URLs and media variants from [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/) pin links, including titles, source URLs, dimensions, quality labels, and file extensions.

Add Pinterest pin links such as `https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/`, and the actor returns media variants in a clean dataset. Use it when you need repeatable Pinterest image data extraction with [Apify](https://apify.com/) scheduling, API access, integrations, and export formats. ### What can Pinterest Image Downloader do? - Extract direct `i.pinimg.com` image URLs from Pinterest pin pages. - Return available media variants such as `236x`, `474x`, `564x`, `736x`, and `originals` when Pinterest provides them. - Include image width, height, quality label, extension, and media type. - Process multiple Pinterest pin URLs in one run. - Run on demand or on a schedule with [Apify schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules). - Connect results to the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), webhooks, and integrations. - Export Pinterest image data as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS from Apify datasets. ### What data can you extract from Pinterest images? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `url` | Original input Pinterest pin URL | | `result.url` | Final Pinterest pin URL after redirects | | `result.source` | Source platform, returned as `pinterest` | | `result.title` | Pin title or description returned by Pinterest | | `result.medias` | Array of extracted image variants | | `result.medias[].width` | Image width when Pinterest provides it | | `result.medias[].height` | Image height when Pinterest provides it | | `result.medias[].url` | Direct image URL | | `result.medias[].quality` | Variant label such as `236x`, `736x`, or `originals` | | `result.medias[].extension` | File extension, commonly `jpg` or `png` | | `result.medias[].type` | Media type, currently `image` | | `result.error` | Boolean error flag for the processed URL | ### How to download Pinterest image URLs 1. Open [Pinterest Image Downloader](https://apify.com/parsebird/pinterest-image-downloader) on Apify. 2. Add one or more Pinterest pin URLs in `links`. 3. Keep `proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy` off for the cheapest first test, or enable proxy settings if a request is blocked. 4. Run the actor and open the default dataset. 5. Export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect them to a workflow through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `links` | array | **Yes** | Two sample Pinterest pin URLs | Pinterest pin URLs to process | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy": false, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}` | Optional proxy settings for Pinterest requests | ### Input / Output Example input: ```json { "links": [ "https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/", "https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/703756187194777/" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` Example output: ```json [ { "url": "https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/", "result": { "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/", "source": "pinterest", "title": "Sam Coleman | Some snippets of this golden boy...", "medias": [ { "width": 236, "height": 419, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ac/10/56/ac105618d3e5e08cfd42c3f0149bbc82.jpg", "quality": "236x", "extension": "jpg", "type": "image" } ], "type": "multiple", "error": false } } ] ``` Download results in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS from the Apify dataset. ### Python API example ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("parsebird/pinterest-image-downloader").call(run_input={ "links": ["https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/"], "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": False, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ### JavaScript API example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('parsebird/pinterest-image-downloader').call({ links: ['https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/1337074888254229/'], proxyConfiguration: { useApifyProxy: false, apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'] }, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` See Apify's official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/) and [JavaScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/) documentation for more options. ### How much does it cost to download Pinterest image data? **What is the price per Pinterest image result?** | Event | Free, Bronze, Silver | Gold | |-------|----------------------|------| | `image-downloaded` | $0.0029 per result (**$2.90 / 1,000**) | $0.0025 per result (**$2.50 / 1,000**) | Each `image-downloaded` event means one Pinterest pin URL was processed successfully and pushed to the dataset. A run with 1,000 successful image results costs $2.90 on Free, Bronze, and Silver plans, or $2.50 on Gold. Apify free trial credits may cover test runs where applicable. ### Use cases - Collect direct Pinterest image URLs for asset review and creative research. - Build image datasets from Pinterest pins discovered with Pinterest Search Scraper. - Audit media variants and available image sizes for public pins. - Monitor saved pins, campaign references, mood boards, or visual inspiration sets. - Feed Pinterest image metadata into spreadsheets, BI tools, databases, or automation workflows. ### How it works 1. The actor validates and deduplicates the `links` input. 2. It requests each public Pinterest pin page with browser-like headers and optional proxy settings. 3. It extracts Pinterest's embedded public pin media data. 4. It falls back to direct `i.pinimg.com` URL discovery if the embedded payload changes. 5. It pushes one dataset item per input URL and charges one PPE event per successful result on the Apify platform. ### Is it legal to download Pinterest image URLs? **Is scraping Pinterest image URLs legal?** Scraping publicly available web data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but Pinterest images may be protected by copyright or third-party rights. Review Pinterest's terms, respect rights holders, and make sure your use case complies with applicable laws.

Add multiple URLs to the `links` array. The actor deduplicates repeated pin URLs before scraping. **Does this actor download binary image files?** No. It extracts direct image URLs and metadata. Use the returned `result.medias[].url` links in your own downloader, storage workflow, or integration. **Can I schedule recurring Pinterest image extraction?** Yes. Use Apify schedules to run the actor hourly, daily, weekly, or at a custom interval. **Can I use this as a Pinterest image API?** Yes. Start runs and fetch datasets through the Apify API, Python client, JavaScript client, webhooks, or integrations. **Why did a pin return an error?** The pin may not exist, may not be public, or Pinterest may have blocked the request from the current network. Try enabling Apify Proxy or checking the pin in a browser. **Where can I report issues or request fields?** Open the Issues tab on the actor page and include your input example, run ID, and the fields you expected. # Actor input Schema ## `links` (type: `array`): Add Pinterest pin URLs to process.
