pinscrape Python Library

The recommended way to use pinscrape is via the Pinterest class. This approach allows you to search for keywords, download images using multiple workers, and retrieve specific board details.

Note: The scraper.scrape method is deprecated. Use the Pinterest class instead.

from pinscrape import scraper, Pinterest

keyword = "messi"
output_folder = "output"
proxies = {}
number_of_workers = 10
images_to_download = 1

# Recommended usage
p = Pinterest(proxies=proxies, sleep_time=2) # you can also pass `user_agent` here.
images_url = p.search(keyword, images_to_download)
p.download(url_list=images_url, number_of_workers=number_of_workers, output_folder=output_folder)

Install the pinscrape package using pip to enable Pinterest image scraping and board detail retrieval.

pip install pinscrape

You can use the get_pin_details method from a Pinterest instance to fetch metadata about a specific user's board. This returns a dictionary containing resource information, such as the creation timestamp.

from pinscrape import Pinterest

p = Pinterest(proxies={}, sleep_time=2)
board_details = p.get_pin_details(username='canva', board='design-trends')

# Accessing data from the response
print(board_details)
print(board_details.get('resource_response', {}).get('data', {}).get('created_at'))
