## Pricing

from $7.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## 📌 Pinterest Intelligence Scraper

Extract public Pinterest data from **keywords or direct URLs**: Pins, videos, boards, and profiles, as clean, structured records for visual trend research, creator analysis, content performance, and product discovery. No login, no Pinterest API key, no browser extension.

Pinterest search and public pages carry useful signals, saves, creators, destination links, boards, media, and commerce data, but reviewing them one by one does not scale. This Actor collects them for you and returns normalized records ready to export.

> 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you results in a few seconds.<br>
> 💰 **$0.014 per result** on the Free plan, from $0.0121 on paid plans. [See pricing](#-pricing)

### ✨ Why this scraper?

> - **Four entity types from one Actor**<br>
>   Pins, videos, boards, and profiles all come out in the same normalized shape, no separate tool per content type.
>
> - **Works from a URL or a cold keyword**<br>
>   Already know the board or profile? Paste it. Exploring a niche? Just type the topic.
>
> - **Engagement signals included**<br>
>   Saves, reactions, comments, shares, and repins on every Pin, not just the image and title.
>
> - **Quality filters built in**<br>
>   Cut out low-engagement and promoted content before it ever reaches your dataset, instead of filtering after the fact.
>
> - **Keyword search**<br>
>   Search a topic, product, style, or brand and collect Pins, videos, boards, or profiles.
>
> - **Direct URLs**<br>
>   Paste a public Pin, video, board, profile, category, or search URL to collect that exact source.
>
> - **Apify platform**<br>
>   Schedule runs, get only new results, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Pinterest Intelligence API? Do I need an API key?

> Pinterest Intelligence has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Pinterest Intelligence API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP:
> `claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/pinterest-intelligence-scraper"`

#### Why am I getting no results?

> Double-check the URL is a public Pin, board, profile, or search page (not a private board or a login-only page), or try a broader keyword.

#### Why is the run slow or coming back blocked?

> Pinterest can throttle very large or very fast runs. Lower "Results per URL or keyword" and try again; the Actor retries automatically on temporary errors.

#### Is this an official Pinterest Intelligence tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Pinterest Intelligence. It reads only data Pinterest Intelligence publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Pinterest Intelligence's terms and the laws that apply to you.

```

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).
