Pinterest Board Scraper

A Pinterest board,
as rows.

Paste a board URL - pinterest.com/<user>/<board> - and the pins come back as rows: the title, the description, the outbound link, the image, the pin's own address, the repin count and the account that posted it. One row per pin.

How it works

A board in,
its pins out.

Two fields and that is the form - the boards you want, and how many pins to take from each.

  1. STEP 1Sign in to the platform.
  2. STEP 2Open the Pinterest Board Scraper.
  3. STEP 3Paste Pinterest board URLs, one per line - or upload a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file.
  4. STEP 4Set a limit per query, or set it to zero to take everything.
  5. STEP 5Click Get Data and download as CSV, XLSX or JSON.

The limit is per query, so five boards with a limit of two hundred is two hundred pins from each - not two hundred altogether.

Why teams use it

A board you can sort,
not a wall you scroll.

The board arrives already tidied

board comes back normalised to <user>/<board> even though you submitted a full URL, and query keeps whatever you typed. One is the key to group on, the other reconciles the file against your input list.

Two different links, kept apart

url is the pin's own address on Pinterest and is there on every row. link is where the pin points off-platform, and is often absent because plenty of pins do not point anywhere. Keeping them in separate columns is the difference between a working dataset and a guess.

We tell you where it will bite

description is never the empty string. On pins without one it comes back as a single space, which passes every naive emptiness check. That is the kind of thing you find out at 2am, so we put it on the page instead.

Read this before you write the importer

One trap,
and one honest limit.

Two things about this export that matter more than anything else on the page.

The trap first, because it is genuinely nasty. The description column is never empty. On a pin that has no description it comes back as a single space - not an empty string, not null. Every obvious check for emptiness passes: the value is truthy, its length is one, and a spreadsheet shows a blank cell. If you are filtering, deduplicating or counting on that column, trim it first. We have not seen a genuinely empty description on any row we hold.

The honest limit second. Pinterest renders boards in the browser rather than in the page's HTML, and the tool says as much: getting the full board needs a residential exit of your own. Without one a run still returns pins - ours did - but treat what comes back as a partial view of the board rather than the whole of it, and do not build a count on it.

One more thing about the evidence here. Every run we hold was against the same board, so this page describes the export's shape and its traps but prints no fill rates and no proportions - those would be facts about one board and nobody else's. A small free-tier run over your own boards is the honest way to see how the columns behave for you.

Data dictionary

Nine columns,
one pin each.

The names are exact and confirmed twice - by the published column list for this service and by the header of every run export we hold. Read the notes; two of these columns behave in ways that will catch an importer out.

query
The board URL you submitted, echoed on every row it produced. Group on this when one file covers several boards.
board
The same board, normalised to <user>/<board> - so submitting a full URL still gives you a short, joinable key.
title
The pin's title. Occasionally blank on a row whose other columns are populated, so do not assume it is always there.
description
The pin's description. Never the empty string - on a pin without one it is a single space, which passes any naive emptiness check. Trim before you filter or count.
link
Where the pin points off Pinterest. Frequently absent, and that is normal rather than a failure: plenty of pins do not link anywhere.
image
The pin image, on Pinterest's own image CDN.
url
The pin's own address on Pinterest, in pinterest.com/pin/<id>/ form. Present on every row we hold - this is the reliable key.
repins
How many times the pin was saved. A string of digits, not a number - parse before you sort or sum.
author
The account that posted the pin.

Everything here is a string, including repins; the JSON adds a tenth field, position, which is a real number and 1-based within the run, while the CSV and XLSX stop at nine. Two columns will catch you out. description is never empty - a pin without one gives you a single space, so trim before testing. And link is absent on a great many rows by design, because it is the pin's outbound destination rather than the pin itself; url is the column that is always there. One pattern worth knowing, offered as an observation rather than a rule: image, repins and author went blank together on a single row of most of our runs, and on those rows the title and description read like the board's own listing rather than a pin's - so check the last row of a run before you treat every row as a pin. No fill rates appear on this page: every run we hold was against one board, and a percentage off that would describe that board and nothing else.

Run controls

A board and a limit,
and that is the form.

Two fields. No sort, no filter - you name the boards and say how deep to go.

What a board becomes once it is a table rather than a wall of images.

Content audit

See your own board as a spreadsheet

Titles, descriptions and repin counts side by side turn a board into something you can actually review - which pins earned saves, which went out without a description, which point nowhere because link is empty.

Social · Content
Competitive

Read a competitor's board in one pass

Pull the boards you watch and compare how they write titles and descriptions, and what they link out to. Reading twenty pins in a table is a different exercise from scrolling twenty images.

Market intel
Monitoring

Re-run a board and diff it

The same board on a schedule gives you two comparable files. New pins, removed pins and repin counts moving are a diff - and url is the stable key to diff on, since it is present on every row.

Pay only for the pins
you actually pull.

No subscription, no minimum, no recurring bill. Your first 500 rows are on us - after that, pay-as-you-go at the same flat rate as every other scraper here.

Free tier

500 free rows - $0

Every new account, one-time. No credit card required. Per-query limits, file upload and every export format included - and enough to see how the columns behave on your own boards.

$0 forever
Pay-as-you-go

$0.002 per row, after the free tier

The same flat rate as every other scraper on the platform. The pre-flight estimator shows the row count and credit cost before a run starts - worth a glance, because the limit is per query and a list of boards multiplies.

The legal bit

Is it legal to scrape
a Pinterest board?

Short answer: a public board is public - but pins are somebody's creative work and the export names the account that posted them.

Everything collected here is shown on a public board to any visitor, signed in or not. No login is used, no paywall is crossed and no account is touched, and the run goes through our proxy pool rather than your own address. Nothing is inferred: if a value is in the row, the board displayed it.

Two things make this heavier than a product catalogue. The author column names an account, which means the export can identify a person - so the GDPR and comparable regimes apply to what you do next: a lawful basis, a purpose the person would reasonably expect, and no longer kept than that purpose needs. And the pins themselves - the images, the titles, the descriptions - are somebody else's creative work. Collecting them for analysis is one question; republishing them is a different one, and copyright rather than data protection is what governs it.

Pinterest's own terms restrict automated access, so read them before you scale rather than relying on the boards being public. We run no third-party trackers on the data layer, and your exports auto-delete after 30 days.

How do I scrape a Pinterest board?+
Using the Pinterest Board Scraper: sign in to the platform, open the Pinterest Board Scraper, paste Pinterest board URLs one per line (or upload a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file), set a limit per query or set it to zero to take everything, then click Get Data and download the result as CSV, XLSX or JSON.
What columns will I get?+
Nine, in this order: query, board, title, description, link, image, url, repins and author. Those names are confirmed twice over - by the published column list for this service and by the header of every run export we hold. The JSON adds a tenth field, position; the CSV and XLSX stop at nine.
Why is the description column never empty?+
Because on a pin without a description it comes back as a single space rather than an empty string. That is the single most useful thing to know before you write an importer: the value is truthy, its length is one, and a spreadsheet shows a blank cell, so every naive emptiness check passes. Trim the column before you filter, deduplicate or count on it. We have not seen a genuinely empty description on any row we hold.
Why is the link column empty on so many rows?+
Because link is where a pin points off Pinterest, and plenty of pins do not point anywhere. An empty link is normal rather than a failure. If you want the pin itself, use url - that is the pin's own address on Pinterest and it was present on every row we hold.
Are the repin counts numbers?+
No. repins comes back as a string of digits, so parse it before you sort or sum. Everything in this export is a string except position, which appears in the JSON but not in the CSV or XLSX and is 1-based within the run.
Will I get the whole board?+
Not necessarily. Pinterest renders boards in the browser rather than in the page's HTML, and the tool says a residential exit of your own is what gets you the full board. Without one a run still returns pins - ours did - but treat the result as a partial view rather than the complete board, and do not build a count on it.
Why does this page not show fill rates?+
Because every run we hold was against the same board. Any percentage we printed would be a fact about that one board rather than about the service, so we have left them out and described the shape and the traps instead. A small free-tier run over your own boards is the honest way to see how the columns behave for you.
How much does it cost?+
The first 500 rows are free and one-time, with no credit card. After that it is $0.002 per row - the same flat rate as every other scraper on the platform. The estimator shows the cost of a run before it starts, which is worth a glance because the limit is per query and a list of boards multiplies.

Scrape a Pinterest board into a spreadsheet

The Pinterest Board Scraper turns a board into rows. You submit board URLs in pinterest.com/<user>/<board> form - one per line, or uploaded as a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file - set a limit per query, and every pin comes back as a record with the board you asked for, the pin's title and description, the outbound link, the image, the pin's own address, the repin count and the account that posted it. Nine columns, one row per pin, downloadable as CSV, Excel or JSON. The board column arrives normalised to <user>/<board> even though you submitted a full URL, which makes it a short key to group on.

One detail in this export will break an importer if you do not know about it. The description column is never the empty string. On a pin that has no description it comes back as a single space - a value that is truthy, one character long, and shows as a blank cell in a spreadsheet, so every obvious emptiness check passes it. Trim before you filter, deduplicate or count. A second, gentler surprise: link is absent on a great many rows, because it is the pin's outbound destination rather than the pin itself, and plenty of pins do not link anywhere. The column that is always there is url, the pin's own pinterest.com/pin/<id>/ address, which makes it the reliable key to join or diff on. Note too that repins is a string of digits rather than a number, and that everything in the export is a string except position, which the JSON carries and the spreadsheet does not.

Two limits are worth stating plainly. Pinterest renders boards in the browser rather than in the page's HTML, and the tool says getting the full board needs a residential exit of your own; without one a run still returns pins, but treat what comes back as a partial view rather than the whole board. And every run we hold was against a single board, so this page prints no fill rates and no proportions - those would describe that one board and nobody else's. It describes the export's shape and its traps instead, and a small free-tier run over your own boards is the honest way to see the rest.

On the legal side this sits heavier than a product catalogue, for two reasons worth weighing. The author column names an account, so the export can identify a person and the GDPR and comparable regimes apply to whatever you do next. And the pins themselves - images, titles, descriptions - are somebody else's creative work, so republishing is a copyright question rather than a data-protection one. Everything collected is shown on a public board to any visitor and no login or paywall is involved, but Pinterest's own terms still restrict automated access, so read them before you scale. Start free: your first 500 rows cost nothing and need no credit card, and after that it is $0.002 per row, flat.
