Pinterest Profile Pins API. Pins, page by page.

Every pin an account saved or created, page by page. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Pinterest Profile Pins API at a glance

Returns a public Pinterest account's pins from its username, profile link or ID, newest first, page by page. Each pin has its title, description, hashtags, picture or video files, exact saves, reactions and comments, the page it links to, its board and the account that first pinned it. List every pin the account saved, or only the ones it created.

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 Pinterest account: its username (any case, with or without the @), its profile link (pinterest.com/<username>/, any of its tabs such as /_created/ or /_pins/, also on a country's site such as uk.pinterest.com or pinterest.co.uk) or its numeric ID.

  • Write one parser

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

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

What teams build with the Pinterest Profile Pins API.

  • Track what a brand pins each week

  • Collect a creator's pins and their saves

  • Find the sites an account sends traffic to

  • Download an account's pin pictures and videos

Good to know before you build.

  • tab=saved lists the account's Pins tab, which holds the pins it saved from others too: each of those has platform_specific.pinterest.is_repin true and names who pinned it first in original_pinner.
  • Pinterest orders the Pins tab by when each pin was saved, but can list a pin out of that order. So since and until filter its pages without ending the walk; on tab=created, which is in strict order, paging stops once since is reached.
  • Pinterest leaves an idea pin's description out of these lists, so its text is null here. The Pinterest Pin API returns it, with the pin's interests, which are listed in unknown_fields here.
  • metrics.save_count counts the saves of every pin of the same picture or video. metrics.share_count is null, as is platform_specific.pinterest.repin_count on tab=saved: those lists don't carry them.
  • When Pinterest's main API fails on a first page, the pins come from its embed API: no title, date, reactions or comments, a carousel shows only its cover, and the list stops there with page.end_reason platform_limit.

Questions about the Pinterest Profile Pins API.

More in the API reference.

Does it include pins the account saved from others?
Yes, with tab=saved, the default. Send tab=created for only the pins the account made itself.
Can I send the account's ID instead of its username?
Yes. The numeric ID that pins and boards give their pinner works, as does any link to the account's profile or its tabs.
How much does the Pinterest Profile Pins API cost?
A page of up to 25 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.

Try it on an account you know.

Paste its handle or link in the playground, or copy the request into your code.
