## Pinterest Boards API at a glance

Returns a public Pinterest account's boards from its username, profile link or account ID. Each board has its name, description, link, cover picture, exact pin count and owner. Boards come in the order the profile shows them, including group boards the account joined, and the list pages on.

GET `/v1/pinterest/boards`

[Read the API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/boards/index.md)

- **1 credit** per page, $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000 pages
- **13 typed fields** null when unknown
- **50** boards per page, the order the account's profile shows its boards in: its own arrangement (A to Z, or one it set by hand), else the boards saved to most recently first
- **`handle`** is all it needs, e.g. `pinterest`

## Send one request. Get up to 50 boards back.

Copy the request in your language, or hand it to your agent. Sign up for an API key and your first 100 credits are free.

Long arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.

## One schema on 6 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/boards/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/playlist/index.md).

- ### 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 Pinterest account: its username (any case, with or without the @), its profile link (pinterest.com/pinterest/, any tab of it, also on a country's site such as uk.pinterest.com or pinterest.co.uk) or its numeric account ID.
- ### Write one parser

  Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, facebook, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native playlist ID (string): TikTok's playlist (mix) or collection ID, YouTube's list ID (PL…), Facebook's video list ID.
- **`url`string**: Canonical playlist URL.
- **`type`string**: 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_type`string**: The platform's own label, lowercase (mix, collection, playlist, series, podcast, …).
- **`title`string**: Name its owner gave it.
- **`description`string**: Description as plain text; null when it has none or the platform shows none (TikTok).
- **`owner`object**: 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 Boards API.

- ### List every board a brand curates
- ### Find a creator's most active boards
- ### Feed board links to the Pinterest Board API
- ### Track how fast an account's boards grow

## Good to know before you build.

- Group boards the account joined are listed too: their owner is the account that created them, not the one asked for.
- Pinterest shows only public boards to logged-out visitors, so secret boards never appear.
- Pinterest's short links (pin.it) are not taken here: send the account's username or profile link.

## 1 credit per page. Failed requests are free.

Buy credits once and spend them on any endpoint, on any platform.

[Plans and packs](https://socialtap.dev/pricing/index.md) · [How this endpoint is priced](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/boards/index.md#pricing) · [How credits work](https://socialtap.dev/docs/credits/index.md)

| Source | Price per successful page | Per 1,000 pages |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Platform API `api` | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 |
| Public page `page` | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 |

- Cache hits are free.
- 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.

## Questions about the Pinterest Boards API.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/boards/index.md).

**Does it return every board of an account?**

Every public board, a page at a time: follow page.next_cursor until the list ends.

**Can I get the pins of a board?**

Yes. Send a board's url to the Pinterest Board API.

**How much does the Pinterest Boards API cost?**

A page of up to 50 boards 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.
