# Pinterest Trends API Pinterest Returns the searches trending on Pinterest in a country, from Pinterest Trends' top monthly, top yearly, growing and seasonal boards. Each term comes with its rank, how much it is searched against the board's top term, its weekly, monthly and yearly change, how seasonal it is and a link to its Pinterest search. Filter by interest, age, gender or keywords; with no parameters you get the US top monthly board.

market_country_codes names the countries a board counts. > - A board ends after its hundredth term: Pinterest serves no more, and page.end_reason says platform_limit. > - categories is filled when you filter by category; without it Pinterest does not say which interests a term belongs to, so it is \[\] and listed in unknown_fields. > - platform_specific.pinterest.history, a year of weekly search popularity, is filled only on a first page read from Pinterest's default board (the fallback when its filtered board fails), which then lacks the search index, yearly change and seasonality, and whose weekly and monthly changes Pinterest rounds apart, so one can differ by a rounding step from the filtered board's (-0.2 against -0.1); otherwise history is \[\] and listed in unknown_fields. ## Authorizations `x-api-key`stringheaderrequired Your API key. [Authentication](https://socialtap.dev/docs/authentication/index.md) ## Query parameters | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `country` optional | `string`
iso3166-1-alpha-2 | Region: an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code such as US or BR (case-insensitive). The country whose searches to rank: US, CA, GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, MX, AR, CO, BR, ID, IN, MY, PH, TH, SA, EG, TR or KR, each with a board of its own; or IE, AT, CH, PT, GR, MT, SE, DK, FI, NO, NL, BE, LU, PL, RO, HU, SK, CZ, CL, AU, NZ, CR, DO, EC, GT, PE or CY, which Pinterest counts together with their neighbors: those read the shared board, and market_country_codes names its countries. | `US` | | `kind` optional | `string` | Which board: top_monthly (the default: the most searched terms this month), top_yearly (this year), growing (the terms whose searches rose most this month) or seasonal (terms searched at this time every year, now rising).
One of `top_monthly`, `top_yearly`, `growing`, `seasonal` | `growing` | | `category` optional | `string` | Only terms Pinterest files under this interest, and each term's categories filled in. Omit for every interest.
One of `womens_fashion`, `mens_fashion`, `childrens_fashion`, `beauty`, `health`, `design`, `wedding`, `travel`, `gardening`, `finance`, `vehicles`, `architecture`, `food_and_drinks`, `sport`, `parenting`, `education`, `animals`, `diy_and_crafts`, `home_decor`, `event_planning`, `quotes`, `entertainment`, `electronics`, `art` | `beauty` | | `age` optional | `string` | Rank by the searches of people of this age only.
One of `18-24`, `25-34`, `35-44`, `45-49`, `50-54`, `55-64`, `65-plus` | `25-34` | | `gender` optional | `string` | Rank by the searches of people of this gender only (unspecified: those who gave none).
One of `female`, `male`, `unspecified` | `female` | | `contains` optional | `string` | Only terms containing one of these keywords, comma-separated (at most ten). | `nails` | | `excludes` optional | `string` | Leave out terms containing any of these keywords, comma-separated (at most ten). | `halloween` | | `limit` optional | `integer`
min 1
max 50 | Items per page, 1 to the endpoint's page size (its default and maximum; larger values are reduced to it). Omit it: every page costs the same, so a smaller limit means more pages to pay for. | `50` | | `cursor` optional | `string` | page.next_cursor from the previous response. Send the same other parameters; omit to start from the first page. | — | Unknown parameters are rejected with a suggestion, never ignored ([Requests](https://socialtap.dev/docs/requests/index.md)). `limit` and `cursor` page through the list: see Pagination. **Parameters every endpoint accepts** | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `max_age` optional | `integer`
min 0 | Accept a cached response up to this many seconds old. Cache hits cost 0 credits. Omit to always fetch fresh. The Cache-Control: max-age=N request header is equivalent; max_age wins when both are sent. | — | | `fields` optional | `string` | Return only these fields of each item: comma-separated paths in the schema's notation (id,text,metrics.view_count,segments\[\].text; a parent path keeps the whole object). Unknown paths are rejected. Applied after the cache, so it changes neither the price nor cache hits; page and meta are always returned whole. | — | ## Response ### 200 `{data, page, meta}`. `data` is an array of up to 50 [trend](https://socialtap.dev/resources/trend/index.md) objects, Pinterest Trends' rank for the board (1 = top); `page` says how to get the next page; `meta` describes the request ([meta](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/index.md#meta)). Fields only Pinterest has are under `platform_specific.pinterest`. | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `data[].platform` | `string` | Platform ID (pinterest, google, bluesky, …). | | `data[].term` | `string` | The trend's words as the platform shows them, whitespace-trimmed: a search term (Pinterest, Google and Instagram, usually lowercase: pass it as query to the platform's search endpoints) or a topic's headline (Bluesky). | | `data[].url` | `string` (uri) | The trend's public page on the platform: its trend page where one answers logged out (Google Trends' explore page, Instagram's page for the term, Bluesky's feed of the topic's posts), else the platform's search results for it (Pinterest). | | `data[].rank` | `integer` or `null` | Position on the requested board, 1 = top; null when the answer is not a board. | | `data[].categories` | `string[]` | Categories the platform files the trend under, as shown (not normalized), the main one first; \[\] when none (listed in unknown_fields when the source cannot see them). | | `data[].thumbnail_url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | A picture the platform shows beside the trend (a Pin's on Pinterest, a news article's on Google, a post's on Instagram); null when none or not read. Platform CDN URLs can expire. | | `data[].platform_specific` | `object` | Fields only this platform has, under its ID (platform_specific.\); each null when unknown. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest` | `object` or `null` | A Pinterest Trends trend's own fields. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.country_code` | `string` or `null` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country whose searches the figures count (Pinterest counts some countries together: the endpoint's notes say which). | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.market_country_codes` | `string[]` | Every country whose searches the figures count together, as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes: \["US"\] for a country Pinterest publishes a board for on its own, its group's (\["GB", "IE"\] for IE) for one Pinterest counts with others. \[\] when unknown. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.search_index` | `integer` or `null` | How much the term is searched in the table's period, relative to the table's most searched term (100). | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.weekly_change` | `number` or `null` | Change in the term's searches over the past week, a fraction (0.3 = +30 %, -0.5 = -50 %), rounded by Pinterest to one or two significant digits (always listed in approximate_fields); capped at 100 (+10,000 %), a lower bound then. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.monthly_change` | `number` or `null` | Change over the past month, a fraction like weekly_change, rounded by Pinterest the same way (always listed in approximate_fields); capped at 100, a lower bound then. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.yearly_change` | `number` or `null` | Change against the same time last year, a fraction like weekly_change, rounded by Pinterest the same way (always listed in approximate_fields); capped at 100, a lower bound then. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.seasonality` | `number` or `null` | How seasonal the term is, 0 to 1 (1 = searched at the same time every year), as Pinterest scores it. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.period_end_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | End of the period Pinterest's figures count, exclusive (midnight UTC after its weekly data's last day), RFC 3339 UTC: Pinterest publishes weekly, a few days behind. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.history` | `object[]` | How much the term was searched each week, oldest first, relative to the series' peak (1); \[\] on a board that does not request the series (listed in unknown_fields). | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.history[].start_at` | `string` (date-time) | Start of the interval (a week on Pinterest), RFC 3339 UTC. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.history[].end_at` | `string` (date-time) | End of the interval, exclusive (the next interval's start_at), RFC 3339 UTC. | | `data[].platform_specific.pinterest.history[].popularity` | `number` | Searches in the interval relative to the series' peak, 0 to 1 (1 = the peak), as the platform scales them. | | `data[].approximate_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of values rounded, bucketed or capped by the platform (Google's search volume bucket, Pinterest's rounded changes). \[\] when all exact. | | `data[].unknown_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of lists whose \[\] means unknown rather than none (a source that cannot see them, such as a board's history); null already means unknown for every other field. \[\] when every list is known. | ### 400 400 Bad Request: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `invalid_input` | 400 | No | A parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes. | Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one. | | `invalid_cursor` | 400 | No | The cursor is malformed or expired, belongs to another endpoint, or came with other parameters than the request that returned it. | Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. | ### 401 401 Unauthorized: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `unauthorized` | 401 | No | The x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired. | Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url. | ### 402 402 Payment Required: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `insufficient_credits` | 402 | No | The account does not have enough credits for this request. | Have a person buy credits at details.purchase_url (or make them a checkout link with details.checkout), then repeat the request. Do not retry automatically. | | `spend_limit_reached` | 402 | No | The API key reached its spend limit for this period. The account may still have credits. | Wait until details.resets_at, or raise the key's spend limit (PATCH /v1/api_keys/{id}). Do not retry automatically. | ### 403 403 Forbidden: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `forbidden` | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code. | Act on details.reason. suspended: contact [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev). scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP. | ### 429 429 Too Many Requests: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `rate_limited` | 429 | Yes, later | The account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it. | Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one. | ### 500 500 Internal Error: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `internal` | 500 | Yes, later | An unexpected error on SocialTap's side. | Retry with backoff. If it keeps happening, contact [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) with the request_id. | ### 502 502 Bad Gateway: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_error` | 502 | Yes, later | The platform failed, or answered with something we could not read. | Retry with backoff. Failed requests are free. | ### 503 503 Unavailable: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_blocked` | 503 | Yes, later | The platform refused every attempt, our own retries included. | Retry later with backoff. Failed requests are free. | | `overloaded` | 503 | Yes, later | SocialTap was at capacity, or paused by its operators, and did not start the request. Nothing was fetched or charged. | Retry after the seconds in the retry-after header. Failed requests are free. | ## Pagination Items come in pages, **Pinterest Trends' rank for the board (1 = top)**. To get the next page, send **the same request plus `cursor`** set to `page.next_cursor` from the previous response. Keep every other parameter the same (limit, max_age and fields may change); anything else that differs is rejected. When `page.has_more` is `false` the walk is over, and `page.end_reason` says why: only `end` means you have every item (the others say the platform or a page cap stopped the walk early). - **Order**: Pinterest Trends' rank for the board (1 = top) - **Page size**: Up to 50 top, rising and seasonal searches (the default; `limit` lowers it) - **Cursor lifetime**: 24 hours; don't store cursors - **Price**: Per page, 1 credit ### The `page` object | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `page.has_more` | `boolean` | True when another page exists; then next_cursor is set. An empty page with has_more true is not the end. | | `page.next_cursor` | `string` or `null` | Pass as cursor, with the same other parameters, to get the next page; null at the end. | | `page.next_cursor_expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When next_cursor stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null at the end. Don't store cursors. | | `page.end_reason` | `string` or `null` | Why there are no more pages; null while has_more is true. end: the list ended, or reached since/until. platform_limit: the platform stops serving further pages although the list goes on. max_pages: SocialTap's cap on pages in one walk. New values may be added. A short or empty page is not the end: only has_more false is.
One of `end`, `platform_limit`, `max_pages` | ### Next page cURL: next page: ```shell curl 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/pinterest/top_trends?cursor=c1.EXAMPLE_CURSOR' \ -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" ``` - The price is per page: each successful page costs the same, whatever `limit` is and however many items it has. Empty pages are charged too (an empty page with `has_more: true` is not the end). - A `limit` below 50 doesn't save credits: the next request serves the rest of the same platform page, which is fetched again and charged as a page each time, and items can shift between those requests if the platform changes the list. Omitting `limit` is the cheapest way to walk the list. - Errors are free, including a rejected cursor. - Pages served from the cache are free. - An expired or altered cursor, or one sent with different parameters, fails with [`invalid_cursor`](https://socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#invalid_cursor) (HTTP 400): Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. [Pagination guide](https://socialtap.dev/docs/pagination/index.md) ## Pricing From **1 credit** per page. Charged per successful page, whatever its number of items. Errors are free. The price depends on the source that produced the result, reported as `meta.source`. | Source | Price per successful page | Per 1,000 pages | | --- | --- | --- | | Platform API `api` | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 | **Balance, sources and what you were charged** Your balance must be at least **1 credit** to start a request; with less, it is refused with [`insufficient_credits`](https://socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#insufficient_credits) (HTTP 402) and costs nothing. Only that minimum is set aside when the request starts. | meta.source | Source | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | `api` | Platform API | The platform's public, logged-out API. | `meta.credits_charged` and the `x-credits-charged` header show what you paid.
