Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I scrape from Pinterest?

Pinterest scraping can extract pin images, titles, and descriptions, board collections, user profile information, engagement metrics like saves and comments, related pin suggestions, and search results by keyword. Product pins include pricing and availability data, making Pinterest valuable for e-commerce research.

What proxy type works best for Pinterest?

Residential proxies are recommended for Pinterest scraping, providing the authenticity needed to avoid detection. ISP proxies offer a good balance of speed and reliability. Datacenter proxies may work for limited scraping but risk blocks. Rotate proxies to distribute requests and maintain consistent access over time.

How do I handle Pinterest's infinite scroll?

Pinterest uses infinite scroll with lazy-loaded content. Use browser automation to simulate scrolling, capture AJAX requests that load additional pins, handle pagination tokens properly, and implement delays between scroll actions. Alternatively, intercept API requests directly to extract pin data without visual rendering overhead.

Do I need to log in to scrape Pinterest?

Basic Pinterest data is accessible without login, but authenticated access provides more content, better personalization insights, and access to features like saved boards. Use dedicated accounts with residential proxies for authenticated scraping. Implement realistic session behavior to avoid account restrictions.

How can I track Pinterest trends?

Monitor Pinterest trends by scraping popular categories, tracking keyword search results over time, analyzing trending pins and boards, and monitoring Pinterest's official trends tool. Use scheduled scraping with residential proxies to gather historical data, identifying rising trends before they peak in mainstream awareness.

Can I download Pinterest images while scraping?

Yes, pin images are accessible via CDN URLs extracted during scraping. However, respect copyright and Pinterest's Terms of Service regarding image usage. For research purposes, store image URLs rather than bulk downloading. If downloading is necessary, implement rate limiting and respect creators' rights.
