Everything else about the pin is in the result: its pictures, link, pinner, board and reactions. The same pin can carry its number instead on endpoints Pinterest serves numbers on, such as an account's pins, so the two IDs don't match across endpoints. - Pinterest's search shows no comment count, saves or repins: metrics.comment_count, metrics.save_count and platform_specific.pinterest.repin_count are null. The Pinterest Pin API has them for a pin you have by number. - An idea pin's text is often only on its own page: such a pin has a null text here. - Pinterest corrects a misspelled search and answers for the correction, as its search box does. - Some searches answer an empty page with an items_omitted warning quoting the notice Pinterest shows instead of pins: a help notice for searches about self-harm, its community guidelines for adult topics. ## 1 credit per page.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/pinterest/search_pins/index.md). **Can I search Pinterest without an account?** Yes. We read Pinterest's own search as a logged-out visitor sees it, so you need no Pinterest account or token. **Why can't I open a result's pin by its ID?** Pinterest gives logged-out searches an encrypted pin ID that its pin page refuses without an account. The result already has the pin's pictures, link, pinner and board. **How much does the Pinterest Search 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.
