Pinterest Scraper — Profiles, Boards, Search & Related Pins (No Login)

Harvest public Pinterest data without any login. One engine, four modes: scrape profiles (followers, monthly views, pin/board counts, bio), pull every pin from a board, run a keyword search, or fan out from a seed pin into Pinterest's visual-similarity related feed.

It works by opening a real Chromium browser over an Apify residential proxy and intercepting Pinterest's own internal /resource/ API responses. No account, no cookies you supply.

Modes

You can mix modes in a single run — fill any combination of the four input fields and each target is processed independently.

Profile mode

Scrape one or more public profiles. Set includePins: true to also collect each profile's most recent pins.

Input

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

username is a convenience field for a single profile and is merged into the usernames list. Full profile URLs are accepted in place of bare usernames.

Output (one record per profile, _mode: "profile")

{
"_mode":"profile",
"username":"nasa",
"full_name":"NASA",
"about":"Explore the universe and discover our home planet.",
"followers":1200000,
"following":35,
"pin_count":4200,
"board_count":60,
"monthly_views":8500000,
"is_verified":true,
"profile_pic_url":"https://i.pinimg.com/...jpg",
"website_url":"https://www.nasa.gov",
"profile_url":"https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/",
"source":"xhr-intercept",
"scraped_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00.000Z",
"recent_pins":[/* pin objects — only present when includePins is true */]
}

source records how the record was produced (xhr-intercept, dom-text, widgets-api, optionally +widgets-pins). Some fields can be null when a fallback path was used (for example the widgets API does not return pin_count, board_count, or monthly_views).

Board mode

Pull every pin from a curated board. Best source for brand-curated, head-led creative.

Input

{
"boardUrls":[
"https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/galaxies/",
"natgeo/wildlife"
],
"maxItems":40
}

Both full board URLs and the username/board-slug shorthand are accepted.

Search mode

Keyword search across all public pins. Use specific brand/collection vocabulary — generic terms return noise.

Input

{
"searchQueries":["Cartier Trinity","Tiffany Lock"],
"maxItems":40
}

Related mode

For each seed pin, harvest Pinterest's visual-similarity "More like this" feed. Stays inside the seed's aesthetic neighbourhood, escaping keyword pollution.

Input

{
"seedPins":[
"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12345678901234567/",
"98765432109876543"
],
"maxItems":40
}

Both pin URLs and raw pin ids are accepted.

Pin output shape

Board, Search, and Related modes (and recent_pins in Profile mode) emit pin records. Each pin in the dataset carries its mode and source target:

{
"_mode":"board",
"_source":"https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/galaxies/",
"pin_id":"12345678901234567",
"url":"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12345678901234567/",
"title":"Spiral galaxy",
"description":"A barred spiral galaxy ...",
"image_url":"https://i.pinimg.com/originals/...jpg",
"save_count":4200,
"comment_count":18,
"is_video":false,
"video_url":null,
"board":"Galaxies",
"board_url":"https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/galaxies/",
"pinner":"NASA",
"pinner_username":"nasa",
"link":"https://www.nasa.gov/...",
"domain":"nasa.gov",
"dominant_color":"#1a2b3c",
"timestamp":"2026-01-15T12:00:00.000Z",
"scraped_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Some fields may be null depending on what Pinterest returns. If pins are recovered via the DOM fallback (when the XHR intercept yields nothing), save_count, comment_count, and timestamp will be null.

Run summary

The final dataset item is a run summary:

{
"_type":"summary",
"requested":4,
"by_mode":{"profile":2,"board":1,"search":1},
"targets_scraped":4,
"pins_delivered":80,
"blocked":0,
"not_found":0,
"charged_for":55,
"free_results_used":25,
"free_remaining":0,
"scraped_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Limits

• maxPins — recent pins per profile (Profile mode only). Default 50, max 200.
• maxItems — pins per board / seed / query. Default 40, max 250.
• Up to 500 targets per run across all modes combined.

Pricing

Pay-Per-Event. The first 25 results per Apify account are free (lifetime, shared across both event types):

• Profile mode — charged per profile successfully delivered (profile-scraped).
• Board / Search / Related modes — charged per pin successfully delivered (pin-scraped).

Blocked and not-found targets are never charged.

Notes

• Works on any public Pinterest profile, board, search, or pin without login.
• Uses a real Chromium browser with a residential proxy (required for Pinterest) to intercept Pinterest's own API calls.
• Profile mode falls back to the public widgets API for basic data if the browser tier is blocked (reduced field coverage).
• Image URLs are public i.pinimg.com CDN links you can download directly over plain HTTP.
