Pinterest Media Scraper

An Apify Actor that extracts direct media URLs from Pinterest pins. It handles images, videos, GIFs, and carousels, outputting structured data for easy integration.

Key Features

• Extracts multiple media types: Downloads high-resolution images, standard videos, reels, animated GIFs, and story content.
• Processes complex posts: Retrieves all media items from multi-image carousels and story videos.
• Built for reliability: Includes proxy support to avoid IP blocking and provides structured output with clear error handling.

How to Use

Provide the actor with a list of Pinterest pin URLs via the startUrls input field. The actor processes each URL and saves the results to the dataset.

Input

The actor requires an input object containing an array of startUrls. Each URL must point to an individual Pinterest pin.

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://pinterest.com/pin/703756187938240/" },
    { "url": "https://pinterest.com/pin/123456789012345/" }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Note: Only individual pin URLs in the format https://pinterest.com/pin/{pin-id}/ are supported.

Output

The actor outputs a JSON object for each processed URL to the dataset. Each record includes the source URL, status, and an array of direct media URLs.
