## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

The most complete Pinterest scraper available. It returns every field a pin exposes, plus the pinner profile, board context, product and image details, and engagement counts (saves, comments, shares, reactions), and lets you scrape by keyword search, board, user profile or a single pin.

### What it does

The actor searches Pinterest by keyword and follows any board, user profile or pin URLs you pass, then writes one normalized record per pin to the run's dataset. Each pin includes its image URLs at every size, the pinner profile, board context, the linked product and destination when the pin is a product pin, and optional engagement counts (saves, comments, shares, reactions). Turn on `includeComments` to also collect a `comments` array of top comments per pin.

Provide at least one input: a list of `searchTerms`, a list of `startUrls`, or both. Missing source values are returned as `null`, never invented.

### Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 pins for the keyword `home decor`, each enriched with engagement counts.

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "withDetails": true,
  "includeComments": false,
  "searchTerms": ["home decor"]
}
```

Add board, user or pin URLs to `startUrls` to scrape specific sources. Turn `withDetails` off for faster runs that return only the listing fields.

### Input reference

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | string\[] | no | `["home decor"]` | Keywords to search Pinterest for, for example `home decor`. One search per keyword. |

Provide at least one of `searchTerms` or `startUrls`.

  "title": "Cozy Reading Nook",
  "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/225039312627881892/",

  "createdAt": "Sat, 05 Nov 2022 14:37:02 +0000",
  "saveCount": 38174,
  "commentCount": 0,
  "shareCount": 666,

  "error": null
}
```

### Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace `<TOKEN>` with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~pinterest-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=%3CTOKEN%3E" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["home decor"],"maxItems":25,"withDetails":true}'
```

Start a run asynchronously:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~pinterest-scraper/runs?token=%3CTOKEN%3E" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/225039312627881892/"}],"maxItems":50}'
```

Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call scrapers_lat/pinterest-scraper \
  --input '{"searchTerms":["minimalist kitchen"],"includeComments":true}'
```

### Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing `format`:

```bash
## JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/%3CDATASET_ID%3E/items?token=%3CTOKEN%3E&clean=true&format=json"

## CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/%3CDATASET_ID%3E/items?token=%3CTOKEN%3E&clean=true&format=csv"

## Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/%3CDATASET_ID%3E/items?token=%3CTOKEN%3E&offset=1000&limit=1000"
```

`<DATASET_ID>` is returned as `defaultDatasetId` in the run object. Use `offset` and `limit` to page through large result sets. `clean=true` drops empty and internal fields.

### Billing and limits

- **Pay per result.** You are charged per pin returned (`result` event). See the [pricing tab](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/pinterest-scraper/pricing) for the current per-result price.
- **No charge on failure.** If an input errors, the actor writes an item with a populated `error` field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
- **Spend cap respected.** Set `maxTotalChargeUsd` on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
- **Free Apify plans** are capped at 10 pins per run. Upgrade for higher `maxItems`.

### FAQ and troubleshooting

**A run returned 0 records. Why?**
The keyword matched nothing, or a URL pointed to an empty or private board or profile. Try a broader keyword or a public URL. Zero-result runs are not charged.

**Can I scrape a specific board or user?**
Yes. Paste the board URL (`pinterest.com/user/board/`) or profile URL (`pinterest.com/user/`) into `startUrls`. You can mix keyword searches and URLs in one run.

**Why are `saveCount` and the other counts missing?**
You ran with `withDetails` off. Turn it on to enrich each pin with save, comment, share and reaction counts.

**How do I get comments?**
Turn on `includeComments` (and keep `withDetails` on). Each pin then includes a `comments` array when Pinterest exposes them.

**Why is `price` null on a product pin?**
Pinterest did not publish a price for that pin. Missing source values are returned as `null`, never invented.

**Is this an official Pinterest tool?**
No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Pinterest. It reads only data that is publicly available on Pinterest.

Maximum number of pins to collect across all inputs. Optional.

## `withDetails` (type: `boolean`):

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).
