Extract Pinterest pin details and saves, user pins, and keyword search results. Every endpoint is a single authenticated GET request that responds with predictable JSON, so the data drops straight into dashboards, AI pipelines, RAG systems, and no-code automations. AI agents can call the same endpoints as MCP tools via @captapi/mcp.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pinterest API?+
The Pinterest API is a REST API from Captapi that returns public Pinterest data as clean, structured JSON. It covers 5 endpoints — Pin Details, User Pins, Search, Board, User Boards — behind one Bearer API key, with no OAuth flow and no scrapers to build or maintain.
What data can I get from the Pinterest API?+
Extract Pinterest pin details and saves, user pins, and keyword search results. Each endpoint is a single GET request that responds with predictable JSON fields, so the data is ready for dashboards, AI pipelines, and automations.
Do I need a Pinterest developer account or OAuth?+
No. You only need a Captapi key (capt_live_...), sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. The same key works across all 29 platforms Captapi supports. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and parsing for you.
How much does the Pinterest API cost?+
Pinterest endpoints cost between 1 and 13 credits per call, depending on the endpoint and how many results you request. New accounts start with 100 free credits (no credit card), and repeat calls are served from a 24-hour cache for 0 credits.
Can AI agents use the Pinterest API?+
Yes. Every Pinterest endpoint is exposed as a tool in the official MCP server (@captapi/mcp) for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, and is also available through the @captapi/cli CLI, an n8n community node, a Make.com app, and an Apify Actor.
Is the Pinterest API suitable for production use?+
Yes. It is a stable REST API with predictable JSON, automatic retries, upstream fallbacks, and a shared 24-hour cache. Only successful responses consume credits — failed or empty results are never charged.
