Pinterest Scraper | Pins, Boards and Profiles

Pinterest Scraper

Turn Pinterest into structured data you can actually use. Extract pins, boards, user profiles, and search results with 30+ fields per pin, including pin links that open, 9 image resolutions, saves and comments, creator info, and shopping data. No compute costs, only pay for data you get. Proxies included.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

Copying Pinterest data manually? Dealing with scrapers that return 10 fields when you need 30? Getting blocked every other run?

• 📸 9 image resolutions per pin. From 170px thumbnails to full originals. No more guessing which URL gives you the size you need.
• 📊 30+ structured fields per pin. Engagement, creator, board, SEO, shopping, video, dominant color. Other scrapers skip half of these.
• 🔍 Pins, video pins, boards or profiles from one keyword list. Search several keywords in one run and pick what comes back. Paste pins, boards, board sections, profiles, idea pages or search links too. One scraper, every Pinterest content type.
• 🔗 Pin links that open. Search and board results come back with the real pin ID whenever the pin has a public page, so url opens the pin, never an error page.
• 🔑 Pinterest's own keyword suggestions. Set searchType to keywords and get the phrases Pinterest autocompletes for your keyword plus the related searches it shows above the results, ranked, in any language. About 17 to 20 phrases per keyword.
• 🧩 Related pins of any pin. Paste a pin link, turn on includeRelatedPins and get the pins Pinterest shows under it as "More ideas", each with the pin it came from.
• 🔬 Filters that cost nothing. Keep only pins with a minimum number of saves, pins that link to a website, or pins that link to the stores you name. Pins left out are never charged.
• 💬 Comments and replies, no login. Turn on includeComments to get each pin's public comments with author, date, likes and replies.
• 🛒 Shopping and price data included. Enable includeDetails to get product prices, sale prices, and rich pin metadata.
• 🎨 Dominant color and visual data. Get hex color codes, dimensions, alt text, and visual annotations for every pin.
• ⚡ Pay only for results. No compute costs. You pay per result returned, and proxies are included in the price.

📥 Input parameters

Search

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	*	-	Keywords to search on Pinterest, one per line. Each row says which keyword found it in searchQuery
searchType	string	No	pins	What the keyword search collects: pins, videos (video pins only), boards, profiles or keywords (the search phrases Pinterest suggests)
startUrls	array	*	-	Pinterest URLs: pins, boards, board sections, profiles, idea pages (/ideas/...) or search pages

* Either searchQueries or startUrls is required (or both). The older single search field still works.

Options

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	No	100	Maximum number of results for the whole run, shared evenly between your keywords and URLs
includeDetails	boolean	No	false	Fetch SEO metadata, original pin source, and product prices

maxComments	integer	No	20	Maximum comments per pin, replies included
includeRelatedPins	boolean	No	false	For pin URLs, also return the pins Pinterest shows under the pin as "More ideas", up to maxItems

    "includeRelatedPins": true,
    "maxItems": 100

💡 Tips for best results

1. Start with 10 items to test. Verify the output format matches your needs before running large jobs.
2. Use board URLs for targeted data. Boards return focused, curated pins. Search results are broader but noisier.
3. Enable includeDetails only when needed. It adds SEO metadata and prices but requires an extra request per pin.
4. Combine keywords and URLs. Give searchQueries and startUrls in the same run: maxItems is shared evenly between them, so no source crowds out the others.
5. Use maxItems to control costs. Set it to the exact number you need. No point scraping 1,000 pins if you need 50.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape private boards? No. Only publicly visible Pinterest content is accessible.

Are videos included? Yes. Video pins include videoUrl, videoDuration, and isPlayable fields. Set searchType to videos to keep video pins only, and turn on includeDetails to get the MP4 file in videoUrl instead of the stream.

What are idea pins? Idea pins (formerly story pins) are multi-page pins. The scraper returns them with isStoryPin: true and the full storyPinData object.

What does includeDetails add? SEO title and description, the original pin source for repins, and product price and shopping data. These fields require an extra request per pin.

Can I get the comments of a pin? Yes. Turn on includeComments and each pin row carries its public comments in commentsList, with author, date, likes and replies. No Pinterest account needed. Use maxComments to cap how many you get per pin.

Why is url empty on some search results? Pinterest shows some pins in search without their public pin ID: Pinterest Preview pins it builds from a website article, and some older pins. When the real pin cannot be found, url stays empty instead of pointing to a Pinterest error page. Every other field is filled, and the article link is in link.

How do I get Pinterest keyword ideas? Set searchType to keywords. For each keyword you get the phrases Pinterest autocompletes in its search box, then the related searches it shows above the results, each ranked. Any language works, including Japanese, Korean or Arabic keywords.

Are pins left out by my filters charged? No. Only rows that land in your dataset are charged. With a filter on, the run keeps reading Pinterest until maxItems pins pass or Pinterest has no more pins to show, and the run's status message says how many pins your filters left out.

Do related pins have saves? Most do. A related pin whose public pin page Pinterest keeps hidden comes back with every other field, an empty url and saves at 0, so minSaves leaves it out.

How many image resolutions do I get? Nine: original, 736x, 474x, 236x, 170x, 60x60, 136x136, 200x150, and 400x300.

What URL formats are supported? Pins (/pin/123/ and /pin/title--123/), boards (/user/board-name/), board sections (/user/board-name/section/), user profiles (/username/), idea pages (/ideas/beauty/935541271955/) and search pages on any tab (/search/pins/?q=keyword, /search/videos/, /search/boards/, /search/users/).

What does an idea page return? The pins Pinterest lists for the idea's topic, with every field. Each row has source: "ideas" and the idea's name in searchQuery.
