## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Pinterest Profile Scraper

Scrape any public Pinterest profile without login: followers, monthly views, board count, pin count, bio, and recent pins with save counts, images, and board names.

### What you get

**Profile data**
- `username`, `full_name`, `about` (bio)
- `followers`, `following`, `pin_count`, `board_count`, `monthly_views`
- `profile_pic_url`, `website_url`, `profile_url`

**Per pin** (when `includePins: true`)
- `pin_id`, `url`, `title`, `description`
- `image_url` (highest resolution available)
- `save_count` (repins), `comment_count`
- `is_video`, `video_url`
- `board`, `board_url`
- `link` (destination URL), `domain`
- `timestamp`

### Input

```json
{
  "usernames": ["nasa", "natgeo"],
  "includePins": true,
  "maxPins": 50
}
````

### Pricing

First 25 profiles per Apify account are **free** (lifetime). After that, charged per profile via Pay-Per-Event.

### Notes

- Works on any public Pinterest profile without login
- Uses a real Chromium browser with residential proxy to intercept Pinterest's own API calls
- Falls back to the widgets API for basic data if the browser tier is blocked

# Actor input Schema

## `usernames` (type: `array`):

PROFILE MODE. Pinterest usernames (without the @) to scrape: followers, monthly views, board/pin counts, bio, website. Add recent pins with the toggle below. Full profile URLs are accepted too.

## `username` (type: `string`):

Convenience field for one profile. Added to the Profiles list above.

## `boardUrls` (type: `array`):

BOARD MODE. Scrape every pin in a curated board. Paste board URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-slug/) or the shorthand username/board-slug. Best source for brand-curated, head-led creative.

## `seedPins` (type: `array`):

RELATED MODE. For each seed pin, harvest Pinterest's visual-similarity "More like this" feed. Paste pin URLs (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12345/) or raw pin ids. Stays inside the seed's aesthetic neighbourhood — escapes keyword pollution.

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

SEARCH MODE. Keyword search across all public pins. Use specific brand/collection vocabulary (e.g. 'Cartier Trinity', 'Tiffany Lock') — generic terms return noise.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Max pins to collect for each board, seed pin, or search query. Default 40, max 250.

## `includePins` (type: `boolean`):

In PROFILE mode, also collect the profile's most recent pins (image URL, save count, board, destination link, timestamp).

## `maxPins` (type: `integer`):

Max recent pins per profile (profile mode only). Default 50, max 200.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Residential proxy is required for Pinterest. Leave as default.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "usernames": [
        "nasa",
        "natgeo"
    ],
    "boardUrls": [],
    "seedPins": [],
    "searchQueries": [],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("themineworks/pinterest-profile-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
