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.

It’s useful for gathering visual inspiration, analyzing board performance, or collecting creative trend data. ### 🚀 How It Works 1. Choose a data source: **profile-page** or **search-page**. 2. Provide a **username** or **keyword** depending on the source type. 3. The scraper collects board data, including name, URLs, pin counts, followers, and image previews. 4. Results are returned in structured JSON format. ### ⚙️ Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | | ---------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **data\_source** | `string` | ✅ | `"profile-page"` | Choose where to scrape data from: `"profile-page"` (a user’s boards) or `"search-page"` (boards from search results). | | **source\_value** | `string` | ✅ | `"nike"` | The input value based on the selected data source — a username for profiles or keywords for search. | | **size** | `integer` | ✅ | `10` | Number of boards to retrieve (minimum: 1). | #### Example Input ```json { "data_source": "profile-page", "source_value": "rihamarchitacteur", "size": 5 } ``` ### 📦 Output Structure Each record in the dataset follows this structure: ```json { "id": "854276691756435376", "name": "M A C K U P", "uri": "/rihamarchitacteur/m-a-c-k-u-p/", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/rihamarchitacteur/m-a-c-k-u-p/", "sectionCount": 0, "boardOrderModifiedAt": "Wed, 05 Nov 2025 16:09:28 +0000", "pinCount": 91, "createdAt": "Sun, 03 May 2020 22:46:34 +0000", "imageCoverUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/474x/8e/e6/60/8ee660207cf9822bcbb640b52fa0153f.jpg", "images": { "170x": [ { "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/170x/67/cb/dd/67cbddba5f6da00e25ab16e75988ccf3.jpg", "width": 170, "height": 206, "dominant_color": "#B88B67" } ], "236x": [ { "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/67/cb/dd/67cbddba5f6da00e25ab16e75988ccf3.jpg", "width": 236, "height": 286, "dominant_color": "#B88B67" } ] }, "followerCount": 12529, "description": "", "owner": { "id": "854276760475354469", "username": "rihamarchitacteur", "fullName": "Nike", "imageUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/75x75_RS/85/44/39/85443942d2292a689e921ed7b3148f8c.jpg", "followerCount": 12560, "isVerifiedMerchant": null } } ``` ### 🧠 Field Description | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------------ | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **id** | `string` | Unique ID of the board. | | **name** | `string` | The board’s title. | | **uri** | `string` | Pinterest’s internal URI for the board. | | **url** | `string` | Full board URL. | | **sectionCount** | `integer` | Number of sections in the board. | | **boardOrderModifiedAt** | `string` | Last modification date of the board’s order. | | **pinCount** | `integer` | Number of pins saved to the board. | | **createdAt** | `string` | Date the board was created. | | **imageCoverUrl** | `string` | Cover image URL of the board. | | **images** | `object` | Sample preview images in different resolutions (`170x`, `236x`). | | **followerCount** | `integer` | Board follower count. | | **description** | `string` | Board’s description text, if any. | | **owner** | `object` | Information about the board owner (username, full name, avatar, followers, etc.). | *** ### 📊 Example Output ```json [ { "id": "854276691756435376", "name": "M A C K U P", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/rihamarchitacteur/m-a-c-k-u-p/", "pinCount": 91, "followerCount": 12529 } ] ``` *** ### 🪄 Notes - Supports **two scraping modes**: search-based and profile-based. - Works only with **public boards**. - Excellent for **trend analysis**, **content aggregation**, and **visual curation**. ### 🧰 Use Cases - Collect boards for specific themes or niches - Research audience interests by profile - Build datasets for visual inspiration or trend tracking # Actor input Schema ## `size` (type: `integer`): boards size, default is 10 ## `data_source` (type: `string`): Retrieve the source of the boards page — there are two options: the search page and the profile page. ## `source_value` (type: `string`): Corresponding to the value of `data_source`: if `data_source` is `profile-page`, pass in the profile’s username (e.g., rihamarchitacteur, nike, etc.); otherwise, pass in the search keywords. ## Actor input object example ```json { "size": 10, "data_source": "profile-page", "source_value": "nike" } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "size": 10, "source_value": "nike" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("shareze001/pinterest-boards").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/LcUBzHFZa0qtPCNf2/builds/34UJVdPDPYRDyrwMK/openapi.json
