## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Pinterest Search Scraper

Search Pinterest like a researcher: pins, image URLs, titles and creator follower counts in a structured export.

### What does Pinterest Search Scraper do?

Pass a search `query` (optional pin type filter + limit). The Actor returns pins with creative assets and pinner stats — useful for moodboards, trend scans and creator discovery without manual scrolling.

### Why use this Actor?

- Query → pins with image URLs ready for download workflows
- Includes creator / follower context, not only the image
- Optional filter to focus search type (e.g. all vs video)
- Pay per result

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | yes | What to search on Pinterest |
| `filter` | string |  | Search type (e.g. `all`) |
| `limit` | integer |  | Max pins to return |

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | Pin ID |
| `title` | Pin title |
| `imageURL` | Image URL |
| `pinner` | Creator id / username / followers |
| `date` | Created date |
| `type` | Content type |

### Example run

```json
{
  "query": "brutalist poster",
  "filter": "all",
  "limit": 40
}
```

Open the run’s dataset in Apify Storage to export results.

### Use cases

- Visual trend and moodboard research
- Creator discovery from high-performing pins
- Creative references for marketing and design teams

### Pricing & limits

See the Actor page for pricing. Use proxy if Pinterest throttles. Respect Pinterest’s terms; only scrape publicly visible pins.

### FAQ

**Images vs metadata?** You get image URLs plus titles and pinner stats — download binaries in your own pipeline if needed.

# 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 = {
    "query": "wallpaper",
    "filter": "all",
    "limit": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("easyapi/pinterest-search-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);
});

    "filter": "all",
    "limit": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("easyapi/pinterest-search-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

  "filter": "all",
  "limit": 20
}' |
apify call easyapi/pinterest-search-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,easyapi/pinterest-search-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
