Pinterest Pin Scraper API

The Pinterest Pin endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a single Pinterest pin from its URL: full-resolution image, description, the site it links out to and its save count. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Pinterest changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

  • Errors and timeouts are not charged

The call

One GET, and the pin comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

How it works

Scraping Pinterest pin, in three steps.

You write one line. Proxies, anti-bot walls, rendering and parsing happen on our side.

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Sign up and top up any amount. The balance pays for every HProxy product.
  2. 2

    Grab your API key

    One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper.
  3. 3

    Call the endpoint

    Send the GET you need and read the JSON. That is the entire integration.

Pinterest pin questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the Pinterest Pin endpoint with a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull a single Pinterest pin from its URL: full-resolution image, description, the site it links out to and its save count. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available Pinterest data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Pinterest's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full pin data Pinterest exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

More on the Pinterest Pin API

What the Pinterest Pin endpoint returns

Pull a single Pinterest pin from its URL: full-resolution image, description, the site it links out to and its save count. The JSON object carries items[], saveCount and owner. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the Pinterest pin page itself holds.

What you send to the Pinterest Pin API

The call takes a URL. Required: url. Optional: trim and cache_max_age. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Posts and media on other platforms

The same posts and media data is available on 13 other platforms: TikTok Video, Facebook Profile Reels, YouTube Channel Videos, Instagram Post, LinkedIn Company Posts, Twitter / X User Tweets, Reddit Subreddit Posts, Threads User Posts, Twitch User Videos, Bluesky User Posts, Spotify Track, Truth Social User Posts and Kick Clip. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from Pinterest to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping Pinterest pin allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available Pinterest data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to Pinterest.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
