Pinterest Board Pins API at a glance

Returns the pins of a public Pinterest board from its link, pin.it short link or ID, or the pins of one section from the section's link. Each pin has its title, description, picture or video files with their sizes, exact saves and reactions, the page it links to, the pinner and the account that first pinned it. Page through the whole board with the cursor.

One schema on 21 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 section's link (pinterest.com/<username>/<board>/<section_name>/) for that section's pins, a short link (pin.it/<code>) or the board's ID.

  • Write one parser

    Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

What teams build with the Pinterest Board Pins API.

  • Collect every pin of a mood board or a brand's board

  • Find the sites a board's pins send traffic to

  • Download a board's pictures and videos

  • Track which pins a board gains over time

Good to know before you build.

  • Pinterest gives the pins of a whole board an ID starting with e1_, which its pin page opens only for signed-in accounts, so the Pinterest Pin API can't take it. Everything else about each pin is in the item. A section's pins have their usual numeric IDs.
  • Pinterest hides some of a board's pins from logged-out visitors, so the list can hold fewer pins than the board's pin count. When it stops short of that count, page.end_reason is platform_limit, not end.
  • Pinterest sometimes shows a logged-out visitor only a board's first 25 pins. When every attempt meets that limit, the first page has 25 pins and page.end_reason platform_limit; asking again later, once the cached answer expires, can return the full page.
  • Pins come in Pinterest's own order: mostly the latest saved first, with a few it picks moved to the top. since and until are not taken.
  • A board's list has no comment or share counts, the pinner's follower count or the pin's interests. The Pinterest Pin API has them for a pin with a numeric ID.
  • When Pinterest's main API fails, the first page comes from its embed API, which serves a board's latest pins and nothing past them: numeric IDs, no dates or reactions, and page.end_reason platform_limit when the board has more.

Questions about the Pinterest Board Pins API.

More in the API reference.

Does it take a board section's link?
Yes. A section's link returns that section's pins; the board's link returns every pin of the board, its sections' included.
Why can't the Pinterest Pin API open a pin from this list?
Pinterest names a board's pins by an encrypted e1_ ID for logged-out visitors and opens those only for signed-in accounts. The item already holds what the pin's page shows, except its comment count and interests.
How much does the Pinterest Board Pins API cost?
A page of up to 50 pins costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
How do I get the next page?
Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 24 hours.
