Pinterest Profile Scraper

What is Pinterest Profile Scraper?

Pinterest Profile Scraper turns Pinterest usernames, @handles or profile URLs into one clean row per profile: display name, bio, follower and following counts, pin and board totals, linked website and whether its domain is verified, identity and merchant verification, linked Instagram, profile and cover images, join date, and any email or phone written in the bio. Each row also carries the profile's boards (up to 25) with pin and follower counts, its 25 most recent pins with image sizes and video links, and monthly views and reach. Brand managers, influencer marketers, sales teams and AI agents use it to size up creators and brands on Pinterest, with no Pinterest login.

Why marketers use it for creator research

• Audience size at a glance. followerCount, pinCount and boardCount sit next to each other for quick ranking.
• Business signals. websiteUrl, domainVerified, isVerifiedMerchant and isVerifiedIdentity show who runs a real business behind the account.
• Contacts when they are public. email and phone are filled when the bio or linked fields publish them, and instagramUrl links the same creator on Instagram.
• Reach, not just followers. monthlyViews and monthlyReach show how many people the account reaches (Pinterest reports 10 million as the top figure and monthlyViewsCapped tells you when you hit it); storyPinCount, videoPinCount and lastPinSavedAt show how active it is.
• Board-level detail. Each board in boards has its own pin count, follower count and description, so you can see which topics an account invests in.
• Pay only for real profiles. Missing usernames come back marked profile-not-found and are free.

How to use it

Compare a list of creators:

{
  "usernames": [
    "marthastewart",
    "@nike",
    "https://www.pinterest.com/homedepot/"
  ],
  "includeBoards": true,
  "includePins": true
}

Profile counts only, smallest rows:

{
  "usernames": ["marthastewart"],
  "includeBoards": false,
  "includePins": false
}

Input	What it controls
usernames	Pinterest usernames, @handles or full profile URLs, one per entry
username	A single profile, merged with usernames
maxItems	Profiles to process from the list, which also caps the cost (default 100)
includeBoards	Add the profile's boards, up to 25 (default on)
includePins	Add the 25 most recent pins with ID, link, image in every size and video link (default on)
proxyConfiguration	Optional. The default picks the cheapest route that works and falls back to Apify Residential (US) on its own

Example workflow: shortlisting home-decor creators

An agency planning a home-decor campaign has 40 Pinterest handles from a brief. They run the list, sort by followerCount, and keep accounts with domainVerified true, since a verified website means a real business that can sign a contract. They read boards to confirm each creator has active home-decor boards with real follower counts. Then they pass the shortlisted websiteUrl values to Bulk Website Contact Extractor to find a business email for outreach.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event. Apify platform usage is included in the event price, so you pay one event per profile scraped plus one start event per run. The profile price is lower on paid Apify plans: $0.0035 on Free, $0.0032 on Bronze, $0.0030 on Silver and $0.0028 on Gold and above. Profiles marked profile-not-found are free. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current price.

• 40 profiles = 40 profile events + 1 start event.
• Boards and pins cost nothing extra.
• maxItems caps each run, so it doubles as a cost ceiling.

Creator research with AI agents (MCP)

Connect this Actor to an AI agent through Apify MCP and ask in plain language:

Look up these 10 Pinterest accounts and rank them by follower count. For each, give me the website, whether the domain is verified, any public email, and their three biggest boards.

Agent checklist:

1. Pass usernames, @handles or URLs in usernames.
2. Set includePins: false when only counts and boards matter, to keep rows short.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items; keep rows where status is OK. The run's OUTPUT record has a plain-text agentSummary and counts for scraped, not found and failed profiles.
4. Keep profileUrl as the stable ID when joining with other data.

Builder's note

I found that people researching Pinterest accounts mostly want to know two things: how big the audience is and whether a real business stands behind it. That is why each row puts follower counts next to the website, domain verification and merchant flags. I learned that Pinterest only shows the newest 25 pins and about two dozen boards on a public profile, so the full pin history is left to the board-level tools.

FAQ

Can I use profile URLs instead of usernames?

Yes. Bare usernames, @handles and full Pinterest profile URLs all work and can be mixed in one list.

Why is recentPins empty for some profiles?

Only when the account has no public pins or you turned includePins off. Public listings carry an image, link, size options, colour and video details but no pin titles or descriptions. For complete pin lists, use Pinterest Board Scraper.

How many boards are included?

Up to 25 boards, newest activity first. boardCount always shows the account's total.

Does it return emails?

When an email or phone number is written in the bio or linked fields, it is returned in email and phone. Otherwise those fields are null.

What happens with a username that does not exist?

It gets a row with status: "NOT_FOUND" and error: "profile-not-found" and is not billed.
