Pinterest Board API. Send a board link or ID.
Board with exact pins, followers and collaborators. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.
Pinterest Board API at a glance
Returns a public Pinterest board from its link, a section's link, a pin.it short link or its ID. It has the name, description, cover, the owner, exact pin and follower counts, and the date it was created. It also says whether the board is collaborative, lists its collaborators, counts its sections and names the interests Pinterest relates it to. A section's link returns that section, with the board it belongs to.

Ok(())
}200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/pinterest/boardLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs One schema on 6 platforms.
The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Pinterest doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The board: its link (pinterest.com/<username>/<board>/, also on a country's site such as uk.pinterest.com or pinterest.co.uk), a link to one of its sections (pinterest.com/ikeausa/living-rooms/sofas-armchairs/), a short link (pin.it/<code>) or its ID.
Write one parser
Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, facebook, …).
idstring- Platform-native playlist ID (string): TikTok's playlist (mix) or collection ID, YouTube's list ID (PL…), Facebook's video list ID.
urlstring- Canonical playlist URL.
typestring- playlist: a list its owner curates and orders (TikTok playlists, YouTube playlists, Facebook playlists and series); collection: posts an account saved from any creator into a named public folder (TikTok collections). New values may be added; treat unknown values as playlist.
platform_typestring- The platform's own label, lowercase (mix, collection, playlist, series, podcast, …).
titlestring- Name its owner gave it.
descriptionstring- Description as plain text; null when it has none or the platform shows none (TikTok).
ownerobject- The account that curates it (for a collection, the account that saved the posts, not their authors). Where a platform's curators are not accounts (Apple Music), what it states of them: a name, perhaps a page and a picture, with id and username null, and every field null when it names no one.
Live data from 33 platforms.
What teams build with the Pinterest Board API.
Track a board's pins and followers over time
Find the accounts that contribute to a group board
Check what a brand curates on its boards
Map a board's sections and topics
Good to know before you build.
- A section's link returns the section: platform_type is section, metrics.post_count counts its pins, and platform_specific.pinterest.board names its board. A section has no cover of its own in Pinterest's answer, so thumbnail_url is null.
- platform_specific.pinterest.collaborators lists at most ten collaborators, as Pinterest does; collaborator_count counts them all.
- Pinterest answers that a board is not there for secret boards and for some group boards it still lists on the owner's profile, so both return not_found.
- When Pinterest's main API fails, the board comes from its embed API, which has no creation date, privacy, collaborators, sections or interests, and no section links.

- Credits from packs and top-ups never expire.
- A monthly plan's credits are spent first, and what is left of them ends at each renewal.
- Prices exclude tax: sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
- Outside the US, plans and packs are sold to businesses: checkout asks for your VAT, GST or other business tax ID.
