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 provides detailed pin information such as title, image, video, engagement, and related board and user data — perfect for trend analysis, product research, and content collection. ### 🚀 How It Works 1. Choose the data source: **search-page** or **profile-page**. 2. Provide either a **keyword** (for search) or a **username** (for profile). 3. Optionally filter results to **only include video pins**. 4. The scraper returns structured JSON data for each pin, including images, descriptions, and links. ### ⚙️ Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | | -------------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **data\_source** | `string` | ✅ | `"profile-page"` | Select where to scrape pins from: `"profile-page"` (a user’s profile) or `"search-page"` (Pinterest search results). | | **source\_value** | `string` | ✅ | `"nike"` | The input value: username for profiles or keywords for search. | | **size** | `integer` | ✅ | `10` | Number of pins to scrape (minimum: 1). | | **only\_query\_video** | `boolean` | ❌ | `false` | When true, only video pins will be returned (only applies to search results). | #### Example Input ```json { "data_source": "search-page", "source_value": "nike shoes", "size": 15, "only_query_video": false } ``` ### 📦 Output Structure Each pin in the dataset follows this structure: ```json { "id": "211174977530938", "title": "Nike decide deixar de vender seus produtos na Amazon", "dominant_color": "#ffffff", "description": "Nike decide deixar de vender seus produtos na Amazon", "uri": "/pin/211174977530938/", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/211174977530938/", "redirectLink": "https://economia.uol.com.br/noticias/afp/2019/11/13/nike-deixa-de-vender-seus-produtos-na-amazon.htm", "createdAt": "Thu, 19 Sep 2024 04:26:17 +0000", "image": { "width": 450, "height": 450, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e7/65/04/e7650458fe434cd647eafb289a569fe2.png" }, "images": { "236x": { "width": 236, "height": 236, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/e7/65/04/e7650458fe434cd647eafb289a569fe2.jpg" }, "736x": { "width": 450, "height": 450, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e7/65/04/e7650458fe434cd647eafb289a569fe2.jpg" } }, "likeCount": 346, "board": { "id": "211243671946242", "name": "Austin’s fave things", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/abbey4460/austins-fave-things/" }, "user": { "id": "211312390971860", "username": "abbey4460", "fullName": "Abbey Cross", "imageUrl": "https://i.pinimg.com/30x30_RS/87/bb/68/87bb68b5949e91e4662bf05e67901b41.jpg", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/abbey4460/" } } ``` ### 🧠 Field Description | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------ | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **id** | `string` | Unique pin identifier. | | **title** | `string` | Pin title text. | | **description** | `string` | Description or caption of the pin. | | **dominant\_color** | `string` | Dominant color of the pin’s image. | | **uri** | `string` | Pinterest internal URI. | | **url** | `string` | Direct URL to the pin. | | **redirectLink** | `string` | External link attached to the pin, if any. | | **createdAt** | `string` | Creation date and time of the pin. | | **image** | `object` | Main pin image data (URL, width, height). | | **images** | `object` | Resized versions of the pin image in multiple resolutions. | | **video / videos** | `object` | Video details (if the pin includes a video). | | **likeCount** | `integer` | Number of likes the pin has received. | | **board** | `object` | The board where the pin is saved (ID, name, URL). | | **user** | `object` | The user who created or saved the pin (username, name, avatar, profile link). | ### 📊 Example Output ```json [ { "id": "211174977530938", "title": "Nike decide deixar de vender seus produtos na Amazon", "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/211174977530938/", "redirectLink": "https://economia.uol.com.br/noticias/afp/2019/11/13/nike-deixa-de-vender-seus-produtos-na-amazon.htm", "likeCount": 346 } ] ``` ### 🪄 Notes - Supports both **profile-based** and **keyword-based** scraping. - Can be configured to return **only video pins** from search results. - Works on **public content** — no login required. ### 🧰 Use Cases - Analyze top-performing pins for brands or topics - Collect visual inspiration for creative projects - Discover trending video or product content - Build datasets for image and video research # Actor input Schema ## `size` (type: `integer`): pins size, default is 10 ## `data_source` (type: `string`): Retrieve the source of the pins 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, nike/nikeskims, etc.); otherwise, pass in the search keywords. ## `only_query_video` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, keyword searches for pins will return only video pins, excluding image pins. This parameter does not apply to profile pages. ## Actor input object example ```json { "size": 10, "data_source": "profile-page", "source_value": "nike", "only_query_video": false } ``` # 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", "only_query_video": false }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("shareze001/pinterest-pins").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 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "size": 10, "source_value": "nike", "only_query_video": false }' | apify call shareze001/pinterest-pins --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,shareze001/pinterest-pins" } } } ``` 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 ` 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/fS07bPtdV7Ux6IxjW/builds/ACKNdefwK4EY7HVOS/openapi.json
