Pinterest is one of the biggest image sharing websites out there and it's a great source of visual data like product images, recipes and design trends. Though it's not an easy one to scrape: if we request a Pinterest board with Python's `requests` we'll get back an almost empty html page. The pins are only loaded by javascript after the page loads and Pinterest also protects them with reCAPTCHA and a rotating cookie.

In this tutorial we'll take a look at how to scrape Pinterest pins, boards, profiles and images using Python. We'll take a look at the hidden json API Pinterest uses, how to unlock it with a browser session and how its bookmark pagination works, and finally how to avoid getting blocked when scraping Pinterest at scale.

## What Data Can You Scrape from Pinterest?

Pretty much everything we see on Pinterest without logging in. If we open up a pin we get the image, its title and description, the `auto_alt_text` and the link it was saved from (plus a video url for video pins and ingredients for recipe pins). Boards, profiles and search results are grids of these pins, with the board's pin count or the user's bio and follower counts added on top.

Pinterest Trends and account analytics are behind a login so we'll leave them out.



## Does Pinterest Have an Official API, and Is It Enough?

Pinterest has an official API but it's for advertisers and only works with your own account after Pinterest approves your app. So for public data like search results and other people's boards scraping is the only option.



## Why Do Simple Scrapers Fail on Pinterest?

Pinterest is a javascript heavy website which means we can't just request the html and parse it as the pins are loaded by the browser after the page loads. If we request a board page with Python's `requests` we'll only see a short html page with a "Pinterest doesn't work unless you turn on javascript" message.

Instead, we can use our browser's developer tools to see where the data comes from. If we open the network tab and scroll down a board we can see that new pins are loaded by background requests to Pinterest's private json API. Note that not every request is useful here, the `/resource/BoardInviteResource/get/` request is made repeatedly while scrolling but it doesn't contain any pin data, and some requests are made by a service worker which makes them harder to find.

[How to Scrape Hidden APIsIn this tutorial we'll be taking a look at scraping hidden APIs which are becoming more and more common in modern dynamic websites - what's the best way to scrape them?](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-scrape-hidden-apis)

On top of that Pinterest also uses reCAPTCHA, a rotating cookie and rate limiting which we'll run into once we scrape more pages.

This leaves us with two ways to scrape Pinterest: we can render the page using a headless browser and parse the html or we can replicate these background requests ourselves. Rendering used to be the easy option, but logged-out visitors now get a gated grid where each pin is only an image without its link, title or description. So we'll use the browser for one thing only, starting a session, and get the pins themselves from the API.



## How Do You Scrape Pinterest Pins, Boards, and Profiles?

If we take another look at the network tab while scrolling we can see that Pinterest loads pins through `/resource/<Name>Resource/get/` endpoints. For search it's `BaseSearchResource`, boards use `BoardFeedResource` and profiles use `UserPinsResource`. Each request sends a `data` parameter in the url with a json object inside it, and what comes back is the pins as json.

### Project Setup

In this tutorial we'll be using Python with two packages: the [Scrapfly Python SDK](https://scrapfly.io/docs/sdk/python) to render the pages and bypass anti-bot protection and [python-dotenv](https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/) to load our API key. Both of them can be installed using pip:

bash```bash
pip install scrapfly-sdk python-dotenv
```



Since Scrapfly runs the browser for us we don't need to install anything else.



### Starting a Session

Unfortunately, if we try calling one of these endpoints directly we get a 403 error. That's because Pinterest expects the `_pinterest_sess` and `csrftoken` cookies and an `x-app-version` header which the browser sends with every request. So first we'll render the page once with a Scrapfly `session`, which keeps the cookies between our requests:



python```python
import json
import os
import re
from urllib.parse import quote, urlencode
from uuid import uuid4

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from scrapfly import ScrapeConfig, ScrapflyClient

load_dotenv()
SCRAPFLY = ScrapflyClient(key=os.environ["SCRAPFLY_API_KEY"])

BASE_CONFIG = {
    "asp": True,
    "proxy_pool": "public_residential_pool",
    "country": "us",
}


def start_session(url: str) -> dict:
    session = uuid4().hex
    result = SCRAPFLY.scrape(ScrapeConfig(
        url, **BASE_CONFIG, session=session, render_js=True, rendering_wait=3000
    ))
    html = result.content
    app_data = re.search(r'<script id="__PWS_DATA__" type="application/json">(.*?)</script>', html, re.S)
    props = re.search(r'<script id="__PWS_INITIAL_PROPS__" type="application/json">(.*?)</script>', html, re.S)
    cookies = {c["name"]: c["value"] for c in result.scrape_result["cookies"]}
    return {
        "session": session,
        "headers": {
            "x-requested-with": "XMLHttpRequest",
            "x-app-version": json.loads(app_data.group(1))["appVersion"],
            "x-pinterest-pws-handler": "www/index.js",
            "x-csrftoken": cookies["csrftoken"],
            "referer": url,
        },
        "resources": json.loads(props.group(1))["initialReduxState"]["resources"] if props else {},
    }

```



In the code above, we render the page with `render_js` and keep the session id so our next requests reuse the same cookies. Then we take the app version from the `__PWS_DATA__` script and the `csrftoken` cookie and put them in the headers Pinterest expects. Boards and profiles also have their first batch of pins in the `__PWS_INITIAL_PROPS__` script, and this is where we'll find the options for their feeds.

### Calling the Resource API

Now that we have a session we can call the API the same way the browser does:



python```python
def page_options(session: dict, resource: str) -> dict:
    return dict(json.loads(next(iter(session["resources"][resource]))))


def fetch_feed(session: dict, resource: str, source_url: str, options: dict, max_pages: int = 3) -> list:
    items, bookmark = [], None
    for _ in range(max_pages):
        options = {**options, "gated": False, "bookmarks": [bookmark] if bookmark else []}
        params = urlencode({
            "source_url": source_url,
            "data": json.dumps({"options": options, "context": {}}),
        })
        result = SCRAPFLY.scrape(ScrapeConfig(
            f"https://www.pinterest.com/resource/{resource}/get/?{params}",
            **BASE_CONFIG, session=session["session"], headers=session["headers"],
        ))
        response = json.loads(result.content)["resource_response"]
        data = response["data"]
        items.extend(data["results"] if isinstance(data, dict) else data)
        bookmark = response.get("bookmark")
        if not bookmark or bookmark == "-end-":
            break
    return items

```



Here `fetch_feed` sends the same request as the browser with one difference, the `gated` option. Pinterest's own page asks for `gated: true` and gets back pin stubs with only the id and the images, while `gated: false` returns the full pin with its title, description and board. The `bookmark` part is the pagination which we'll cover in a bit.

### Parsing Pins

Next, let's write our parser. Each pin in the response is a big json object so we'll only keep the fields we need:



python```python
def parse_pin(pin: dict) -> dict:
    images = pin.get("images") or {}
    return {
        "id": pin["id"],
        "url": f"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/{pin['id']}/",
        "title": pin.get("title") or pin.get("grid_title"),
        "description": (pin.get("description") or "").strip(),
        "alt_text": pin.get("auto_alt_text"),
        "image": (images.get("orig") or images.get("736x") or {}).get("url"),
        "link": pin.get("link"),
        "board": (pin.get("board") or {}).get("name"),
        "pinner": (pin.get("pinner") or {}).get("username"),
        "saves": pin.get("repin_count"),
    }


def parse_pins(items: list) -> list:
    return [parse_pin(item) for item in items if item.get("type") == "pin"]

```



Search results can also contain other items like story modules, so `parse_pins` only keeps the items whose `type` is `pin`.

Finally, let's use these functions to scrape Pinterest search. Unlike boards, the search page has no feed options in its data, so we set the query, the `pins` scope and the page size ourselves:



python```python
def scrape_search(query: str, max_pages: int = 3) -> list:
    source_url = f"/search/pins/?q={quote(query)}"
    session = start_session("https://www.pinterest.com" + source_url)
    options = {"query": query, "scope": "pins", "page_size": 25}
    items = fetch_feed(session, "BaseSearchResource", source_url, options, max_pages)
    return parse_pins(items)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    pins = scrape_search("home office desk")
    print(f"{len(pins)} pins")
    print(json.dumps(pins[0], indent=2))
```

#### Scale your web scraping effortlessly

Scrapfly handles proxies, browsers, and anti-bot bypass — so you can focus on data.

[Try Free →](https://scrapfly.io/register)If we run this scraper we'll get pin results like this:



Example outputjson```json
{
  "id": "264938390609406782",
  "url": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/264938390609406782/",
  "title": "Console Desk with Drawers",
  "description": "Our Dillon Console Desk makes small space living easy. With hidden drawers, a minimalist frame, and spacious writing surface, Dillon effortlessly complements versatile needs. Tap to bring it home.",
  "alt_text": "a living room with a desk, chair and lamp in it's centerpiece",
  "image": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.png",
  "link": "https://www.potterybarn.com/products/dillon-console-desk/?cm_ven=OrganicSocial&cm_cat=Pinterest&cm_pla=stpin&cm_ite=DillonConsoleDesk",
  "board": "Home Offices",
  "pinner": "potterybarn",
  "saves": null
}
```







We got our first pins! In our run three pages of results gave us 65 pins, each with its title, description, board and the full size image.

### How Do You Scrape Pinterest Boards and Profiles?

What about boards and profiles? Boards are located at `/<user>/<board>/` and profiles at `/<user>/` and both of them show the same pin cards as search does:



python```python
def scrape_board(board_url: str, max_pages: int = 3) -> list:
    session = start_session(board_url)
    options = page_options(session, "BoardFeedResource")
    items = fetch_feed(session, "BoardFeedResource", board_url, options, max_pages)
    return parse_pins(items)


def scrape_profile(username: str, max_pages: int = 3) -> list:
    session = start_session(f"https://www.pinterest.com/{username}/")
    options = page_options(session, "UserPinsResource")
    items = fetch_feed(session, "UserPinsResource", f"/{username}/", options, max_pages)
    return parse_pins(items)
```



In the example above, we don't build the options at all. Board and profile pages already have them in the `__PWS_INITIAL_PROPS__` data we saved in `start_session`, so `page_options` reads them from there, including the `board_id` for boards. For Nordstrom's "Our Favorite Things" board this gave us 75 pins and 74 for the profile.

### How Do You Scrape Pinterest Search and Hashtag Results?

What about hashtags? Hashtag results are just a search, so we can use `scrape_search` with the hashtag as the query.

## How Do You Handle Pinterest's Infinite Scroll and Pagination?

Pinterest uses infinite scroll, so there are no page numbers we could put in the url. Instead, each resource API response includes a `bookmark` string. In `fetch_feed` we send it back in the `bookmarks` option of the next request and Pinterest replies with the following batch. When the bookmark comes back as `-end-` there are no more pins and the loop stops.

[What is HTTP Error 429 Too Many Request and How to Fix itHTTP 429 is an infamous response code that indicates request throttling or distribution is needed. Let's take a look at how to handle it.](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/what-is-http-error-429-too-many-requests)

With the default `max_pages=3` our scrapes got between 64 and 75 pins. For bigger crawls we can raise `max_pages`. Every page is another request on the same session though, so we'd also add a random pause between pages and remove duplicate pins by their id.

## How Do You Scrape and Download Pinterest Images in Bulk?

How do we get the images? Let's take a look at the `images` field of the pin we scraped earlier:

json```json
{
  "170x": {"width": 236, "height": 354, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.jpg"},
  "236x": {"width": 236, "height": 354, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/236x/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.jpg"},
  "474x": {"width": 474, "height": 711, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/474x/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.jpg"},
  "736x": {"width": 736, "height": 1104, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/736x/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.jpg"},
  "orig": {"width": 1000, "height": 1500, "url": "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/e8/17/cde81773edc15fa114c9e38a7c66cc5f.png"}
}
```



Here we have the same image in five sizes, from 236 pixels wide up to the 1000x1500 original. Our parser picks `orig` and falls back to `736x`, which is what we got for profile pins in our tests. To download them we can use Python's built-in `urllib`:

python```python
from pathlib import Path
from urllib.request import urlopen

def download_images(pins: list, folder: str = "images") -> None:
    folder = Path(folder)
    folder.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    manifest = folder / "manifest.jsonl"
    done = set()
    if manifest.exists():
        done = {json.loads(line)["id"] for line in manifest.read_text().splitlines()}
    with manifest.open("a") as f:
        for pin in pins:
            if pin["id"] in done or not pin["image"]:
                continue
            path = folder / f"{pin['id']}{Path(pin['image']).suffix}"
            path.write_bytes(urlopen(pin["image"]).read())
            f.write(json.dumps({"id": pin["id"], "url": pin["image"], "file": str(path)}) + "\n")
```



In the example above, we save each image as `<pin id>.<extension>` and log it in `manifest.jsonl`, so if the script crashes we can run it again without downloading the same images twice.



## Do You Need to Run Your Own Browser (Playwright)?

Not really. In this tutorial Scrapfly ran the browser for us and our script only made API calls. Though if we want to use our own browser, we can do the same thing with [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/): open the page to start the session and use `page.request`, which sends requests with the page's cookies:

python```python
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def scrape_search_playwright(query: str) -> list:
    source_url = f"/search/pins/?q={quote(query)}"
    with sync_playwright() as pw:
        browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=True)
        page = browser.new_page()
        page.goto("https://www.pinterest.com" + source_url)
        page.wait_for_timeout(3000)
        app_version = page.evaluate("JSON.parse(document.getElementById('__PWS_DATA__').textContent).appVersion")
        csrftoken = next(c["value"] for c in page.context.cookies() if c["name"] == "csrftoken")
        options = {"query": query, "scope": "pins", "page_size": 25, "gated": False}
        params = urlencode({"source_url": source_url, "data": json.dumps({"options": options, "context": {}})})
        response = page.request.get(
            f"https://www.pinterest.com/resource/BaseSearchResource/get/?{params}",
            headers={
                "x-requested-with": "XMLHttpRequest",
                "x-app-version": app_version,
                "x-pinterest-pws-handler": "www/index.js",
                "x-csrftoken": csrftoken,
            },
        )
        items = response.json()["resource_response"]["data"]["results"]
        browser.close()
    return parse_pins(items)
```



In the example above, we open the search page in Chromium, read the app version and the csrf token and call the search API from the same browser context. This works for a few searches, but each browser instance takes a lot of memory so it's hard to scale to hundreds of queries.



## How Do You Scrape Pinterest at Scale Without Getting Blocked?

Pinterest is using several techniques to block scrapers. The first one is reCAPTCHA, which shows up from time to time. The second is rate limiting, where each IP address can only make so many requests. Pinterest also rotates the session cookie and can spot Python's `requests` by its [How TLS Fingerprint is Used to Block Web Scrapers?](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-avoid-web-scraping-blocking-tls).

For a few searches this isn't a problem, in our tests even Scrapfly's datacenter proxies returned pins every time. For bigger jobs our `BASE_CONFIG` enables `asp`, the anti-bot bypass of [Scrapfly's Web Scraping API](https://scrapfly.io/products/web-scraping-api) with [how-to-bypass-captcha-while-web-scraping](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-bypass-captcha-while-web-scraping), and uses `public_residential_pool` for residential IPs. Rate limits still apply though, so 429 responses mean we're scraping too fast.



The full Pinterest scraper with pin details and image downloads is available in the Scrapfly scrapers repository. Most other social media platforms are protected in a similar way, for more see our [How To Scrape TikTok in 2026](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-scrape-tiktok-python-json), [How to Scrape Twitter (X.com) with Python in 2026](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-scrape-twitter), [How to Scrape YouTube in 2026](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-scrape-youtube) and [How to Scrape Reddit Posts, Subreddits and Profiles](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-scrape-reddit-social-data) guides or the [Social Media Scraping in 2026](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/social-media-scraping) that covers all of them.

## FAQ

Can you scrape data from Pinterest?Yes, and we don't even need to log in. The rendered pages hide pin details from logged-out visitors, but the `/resource/` API returns full pins once we have a session and set `gated` to false.







Does Pinterest have an API for scraping data?Yes, though it's an advertising API and you need an approved business app to use it. The website's hidden `/resource/` API we used in this tutorial is much more useful for scraping, as long as we have a valid session.







How do you scrape Pinterest images without getting blocked?Scrape the pins first with residential proxies and `asp` enabled and then download the images from `i.pinimg.com`, using the `orig` url when the pin has one and `736x` otherwise.







How does Pinterest's infinite scroll pagination work?Pinterest uses a `bookmark` token for pagination. Each `/resource/` response has one and to get the next batch of pins we send it with our next request, once it's `-end-` there are no more pins left.







Is it legal to scrape Pinterest?Generally, yes. Pinterest's data is publicly available and we're not extracting anything private, so scraping it at slow, respectful rates falls under ethical scraping. However, Pinterest's Terms of Service don't allow automated extraction, profile data counts as personal data under GDPR and CCPA, and the images are copyrighted so they shouldn't be republished.









## Summary

In this tutorial we've taken a look at how to scrape Pinterest with Python. We rendered each page once with Scrapfly to start a session, then called the resource API behind search, boards and profiles with the `gated` option turned off and followed its bookmark pagination. For images we took the `orig` url of each pin and fell back to `736x`.

For anything bigger than a few searches we use residential proxies with the anti-bot bypass on.
