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 infrastructure 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 32 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). Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hits include cached + cachedAt. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d.
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, and upstream fallbacks. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hits include cached + cachedAt. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Only successful responses consume credits — failed or empty results are never charged.
