How to Scrape Pinterest Pins and Board Data

Pinterest has 450M+ users and billions of pins with rich visual data.

Pinterest API (Official)

Pinterest v5 API requires approval but is free:

async function searchPins(query, token) {
  const url = `https://api.pinterest.com/v5/search/pins?query=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`;
  const res = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + token }
  });
  return res.json();
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What Data You Get

  • Pin image URL and description
  • Board name and category
  • Save count and comments
  • Creator profile
  • Related pins
  • Hashtags and keywords

Use Cases

  1. Visual trend research
  2. Content inspiration
  3. Competitor pin analysis
  4. Keyword research for SEO
  5. E-commerce product research

Alternative: Google Image Search

For visual research without Pinterest API:

site:pinterest.com "web design" 2026
