## Pinterest Pin API at a glance

Returns a public Pinterest pin from its link, pin.it short link or ID. It has the title, description, hashtags, picture or video files with their sizes, and exact saves, reactions, comments and shares. It also has the page the pin links to, its board, the pinner and the account that first pinned it, and the interests Pinterest files it under. Idea and carousel pins list every page.

GET `/v1/pinterest/pin`

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

## One schema on 21 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/pin/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/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 pin: its link (pinterest.com/pin/424605071146283650/, also on a country's site such as uk.pinterest.com or pinterest.co.uk, its pinterest.com/pin/\<words>--\<id>/ link, its AMP page), a short link (pin.it/\<code>) or its ID.
- ### Write one parser

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

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
- **`url`string**: Canonical post URL.
- **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
- **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
- **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
- **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text.
- **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

Live data from 33 platforms.

## What teams build with the Pinterest Pin API.

- ### Track a pin's saves and reactions over time
- ### Find the page a pin sends traffic to
- ### Download a pin's pictures and video
- ### See who first pinned a picture

## Good to know before you build.

- metrics.save_count counts the saves of every pin of the same picture or video, as the pin's page shows. platform_specific.pinterest.repin_count counts the saves of this pin alone.
- metrics.like_count is the pin's reactions of every kind. Pinterest has no view count for logged-out visitors, so metrics.view_count is null.
- author is the account whose pin this is. When it saved another account's pin, platform_specific.pinterest.is_repin is true and original_pinner names who pinned it first.
- When Pinterest's main API fails, the pin comes from its embed API, which has no carousel pages: a carousel pin then holds only its cover in media, platform_type is null, and type and media are listed in approximate_fields.
- Pins in Pinterest's boards, searches and ideas pages for logged-out visitors carry an ID starting with e1_. Pinterest opens those only for signed-in accounts, so send the pin's numeric link instead.

## Questions about the Pinterest Pin API.

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

**Does it return the pin's video?**

Yes. media\[\].url is the MP4 file for a video pin and for each video page of an idea pin, with its length, size and cover.

**Does it take pin.it short links?**

Yes. A short link that opens a board or an account instead returns an error naming the endpoint that takes it.

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

A request costs 1 credit. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
