TL;DR
Get a Pinterest pin — title, description, link, board, origin creator, and engagement as structured JSON. The Pinterest Pin Details API (Pinterest) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/pinterest/pin-details that responds with clean JSON and costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the Pinterest Pin Details API?

Pass a Pinterest pin URL and get clean JSON: title, description, seoAltText, link (outbound URL — there is no destinationUrl twin), createdAt (ISO-8601 — there is no publishedAt twin), board{name,url,pinCount,followers}, author (board pinner), originAuthor (native creator / original uploader), saves plus repinCount/shareCount/reactionCount, image plus imageOriginal plus images{236x,564x,originals}. Detail is a strict superset of list rows — title and description are filled from the pin page (headline / JSON-LD) even when the widget card is blank. Flat 1 credit. timings{nativeMs,enrichMs,totalMs} name which stage ran. shareCount and reactionCount come from the pin page, not the widget. They are omitted only when that page's pin object does not expose them — a shell fetch is retried, so absence is pin-level, not call-level.

What you get

  • Pin Details fields as clean structured JSON
  • IDs, URLs, and titles where the platform exposes them
  • Engagement or popularity signals when available
  • Stable IDs for joining with other endpoints
