Pinterest Scraper
pinterest.com
Pinterest is an underused source for retail trend detection: pins carry outbound product links, so saving volume acts as an early demand signal before it shows up in sales data.
What you can extract
- Pin title, description and image URL
- Save and comment counts
- Outbound product link and domain
- Board name and follower count
- Search result listings
How to scrape it
curl -X POST \
-H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2F&parsed_data=true"import requests
resp = requests.post(
"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource",
headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
params={"url": "https://www.pinterest.com/", "parsed_data": True},
)
print(resp.text)import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';
const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });
const results = await su.getPageSource({
url: 'https://www.pinterest.com/',
parsedData: true,
});
console.log(results);Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Pinterest?
Collecting publicly available Pinterest data such as pin titles, save counts and outbound product links is lawful in many jurisdictions, but the rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Some of it can be personal data, so follow the privacy rules that apply to you. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public page; what you collect and how you use it is your responsibility.
How do I scrape Pinterest without getting blocked?
Pinterest uses bot detection and rate limiting. ScrapeUnblocker renders the page in a real browser, rotates residential and ISP exits and handles challenges, so you send a Pinterest URL and get the rendered page back. In ScrapeUnblocker's benchmark it returned real content on 100% of 1,000 calls, about 5.6s per call.
What Pinterest data can I get?
Pin title, description and image URL, save and comment counts, the outbound product link and its domain, board name and follower count, and search result listings. Because pins carry outbound product links, saving volume works as an early demand signal for retail trend detection.
Do I need a Pinterest API or account?
No. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public Pinterest page as HTML, or structured JSON with parsed_data=true, without a Pinterest API account or login on your side. Use steps to scroll a search or board page in a real browser so more pins load before the HTML comes back.
Can I monitor Pinterest trends at scale?
Yes. Each search, board or pin URL is one request, and calls run in parallel up to your plan's concurrency limit: 20 to 100 concurrent requests on Pay as you go, Starter and Pro, and 200 to 400 on Business, Scale and Ultimate. That suits tracking save counts for many products or keywords over time.
How much does it cost to scrape Pinterest?
Pricing is per request: 1 request = 1 credit, from EUR 1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go to about EUR 0.55 per 1,000 on the Ultimate plan. Blocks, timeouts and errors on ScrapeUnblocker's side are not billed; delivered pages are, including Pinterest's own 404 page. The free trial includes 500 requests with no card.
