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.

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.

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.
