Pinterest Scraper — Pins, Images, Links & Boards 📌

🎉 The fast, no-code Pinterest data API — search pins, grab images, links, boards & engagement stats, no Pinterest API key required

Built for marketers, affiliates, designers, SEO teams and trend researchers who need clean, structured Pinterest data — by keyword or by URL.

📋 Overview

Pull pins from Pinterest as clean JSON or CSV. Search any keyword or paste a Pinterest search URL and get back rich pins — image, outbound link, source domain, board, pinner and alt-text — at scale. Need the numbers? Switch to Detail and add saves, repins, comments, shares, hashtags and the full image-size ladder per pin.

Why marketers and researchers choose us:

• ⚡ Two depths, one actor: a fast, low-cost Overview scan for whole-topic sweeps, or full Detail records when you need engagement stats
• 🔁 Detail = Overview + more: every overview field is on a Detail row too, with deeper data added on top — never less
• 💰 Pay-per-result pricing: Overview from $3 per 1,000 pins — only charged for pins actually extracted
• 🌐 Outbound links + domains on every pin — perfect for affiliate, product and source-site research
• 🎯 Three ways to search: by keyword, by a pasted Pinterest search URL (filters honored), or by specific pin URLs
• 💎 No API key, no code: no Pinterest API access needed — point, click, export a visual-data feed
• 🆓 Free to try: up to 25 pins per run, no credit card

✨ Features

• 🔍 Overview mode: ~18–25 pins per page — image, link, domain, board, pinner, alt-text — ideal for fast topic sweeps
• 📌 Detail mode: full per-pin record — saves, repins, comments, favorites, shares, hashtags, the long-form note, every image size
• 🗂️ Search scopes: pins, products, videos, boards or users — mirrors Pinterest's own search tabs
• 🔗 By keyword / search URL / pin URL: type a query, paste a search link (filters carry through), or drop in specific pins
• 🖼️ Every image variant: largest-first, deduped image ladder plus dimensions and dominant color
• 🌍 Outbound link + source domain on every pin for product and affiliate sourcing
• 👤 Pinner + board context: username, display name, follower count, board name and URL
• 🧾 Self-documenting datasets: every row carries a metadata object recording the exact search settings that produced it
• 📤 Clean exports: JSON, CSV, Excel, or the full REST API

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Pinterest account or API key? A: No. Just supply a keyword or URL and run — no login, no API key, no code.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail? A: Overview is the fast, cheap scan (image, link, board, pinner). Detail adds the engagement numbers — saves, repins, comments, shares, hashtags and the long-form note — at a higher per-pin price.

Q: Can I paste a Pinterest search URL with filters? A: Yes. In bySearchUrl mode, faceted filters in the URL (color, price band, domain) carry through.

Q: Is this legal? A: We only extract publicly available data. See the legal note below.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check the query spelling, or that the pasted URL is a valid pinterest.com/search/... link.
• Very niche queries may return few pins — try a broader keyword or raise Max Search Pages.

Engagement fields are empty

• Saves, repins, comments and hashtags are filled in Detail mode only — Overview omits them by design.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
