Pinterest Keywords Discovery Scraper

Discover hundreds of long‑tail Pinterest keyword ideas in seconds using Pinterest’s autocomplete API. This Apify actor turns any list of keywords, URLs, or usernames into structured keyword suggestions you can use for SEO, Pinterest marketing, and content planning.

What this actor does

• Discovers Pinterest keyword suggestions at scale using the same autocomplete logic Pinterest shows to users.
• Accepts bulk inputs: keywords, Pinterest URLs, or usernames (all treated as keywords internally).
• Handles blocks automatically with a smart proxy fallback (no proxy → datacenter → residential).
• Provides clean, structured output with the original keyword, suggestion type, suggestion text, and proxy mode used.

Use it for:

• Pinterest SEO & content planning – find long‑tail topics and keyword variants.
• PPC and ad research – discover related search terms users actually type.
• Market and trend research – map out query clusters around your main topics.

Key features

• Bulk keyword discovery: Send a long list of keywords / URLs / usernames and get suggestions for each.
• Autocomplete-based suggestions: Uses Pinterest autocomplete, so results reflect real user search intent.
• Smart proxy logic: Starts with no proxy, only upgrades to datacenter and then residential proxies if Pinterest begins to block requests.
• Detailed logging: See how many suggestions were found, which proxy mode was used, and where retries occurred.
• Structured dataset: Results are stored in the default dataset, ready for export to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

Input configuration

The main input fields are:

• targets (required) – URLs / Usernames / Keywords (bulk)

  • An array of strings.
  • You can pass:
    • Plain keywords (e.g. fashion, outfit ideas, DIY home decor)
    • Pinterest URLs
    • Pinterest usernames
  • For this actor, everything is treated as a keyword base for autocomplete.

• sort_order (optional) – Sort Order

  • Options: "default", "top", "latest"
  • Currently informational for the autocomplete API, but kept for compatibility with other actors.

• max_comments (optional) – Max Comments

  • Integer between 1 and 5000.
  • Kept for compatibility with other actors; not strictly required for autocomplete, but can be used to limit processing scope per keyword.

• proxyConfiguration (optional) – Proxy Configuration

  • Standard Apify proxy configuration object.
  • By default, the actor starts without any proxy (useApifyProxy: false).
  • If Pinterest blocks requests, the actor will automatically:
    1. Retry with datacenter proxy.
    2. If needed, switch to residential proxy and stay on residential for the rest of the run.

Output: dataset fields

The actor stores results in the default dataset under the “Pinterest Keyword Suggestions” view. Each item contains:

• keyword – The original input keyword / URL / username (treated as keyword).
• type – Suggestion type or category returned by Pinterest autocomplete.
• item – The actual keyword suggestion text.
• proxy_mode – Which proxy mode was used to fetch this suggestion (none, datacenter, residential, etc.).

You can export this dataset from Apify in CSV, JSON, XLSX, or integrate it directly via the API.
