# Pinterest Pins, Profiles and Boards Collector with Filters

Use this skill to fetch Pinterest data with the Apify Actor `vexaloom-labs/pinterest-pins-profiles-and-boards-collector` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | string | Choose a collection type. Auto-detect accepts mixed public Pinterest Pin, profile, board, board-section, search and idea links. |
| `keywords` | array | One or more words or phrases for the search modes. |
| `pinUrls` | array | Public Pin links, numeric Pin IDs, or opaque feed IDs. Opaque IDs are kept as list rows without a detail page. |
| `usernames` | array | Usernames, @usernames, or public profile links. |
| `boardUrls` | array | Public board links or username/board paths. A three-part board-section link is routed to that section's Pins. |
| `ideaUrls` | array | Public idea-topic links such as /ideas/beauty/935541271955/. Pinterest exposes a list-only feed capped at about 17 Pins. |
| `startUrls` | array | Pin, profile, board, board-section, search and idea links for Auto-detect. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of emitted records, including comment and section rows. Set to 0 for no user cap. |
| `maxPages` | integer | Maximum feed pages per search, profile, or board. 0 follows Pinterest's cursors until the source ends. |
| `minSaves` | integer | 0 means no minimum. For a positive value, keep only Pins where Pinterest supplies a numeric save count at or above it. |
| `minCreatorFollowers` | integer | 0 means no minimum. Keep Pins only when Pinterest supplies a creator follower count at or above this value. |
| `verifiedOnly` | boolean | Keep only rows that Pinterest explicitly marks as verified. |
| `requireOutboundLink` | boolean | Keep only Pins with a public destination link supplied by Pinterest. |
| `imageOnly` | boolean | Exclude Pins that Pinterest identifies as video. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "pinDetail",
  "pinUrls": [
    "142567144448888376"
  ],
  "maxItems": 1,
  "maxPages": 0,
  "minSaves": 0,
  "minCreatorFollowers": 0,
  "verifiedOnly": false,
  "requireOutboundLink": false,
  "imageOnly": false,
  "excludeAds": false,
  "commerceOnly": false,
  "includeComments": false,
  "maxComments": 10,
  "enrichDetails": false,
  "resolveNumericIds": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~pinterest-pins-profiles-and-boards-collector/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~pinterest-pins-profiles-and-boards-collector/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `record_type`, `recordType`, `sourceType`, `sourceValue`, `id`, `pinId`, `title`, `url`, `pinUrl`, `creatorUsername`, `creatorFollowerCount`, `boardName`, `boardUrl`, `commentCount`, `saves`, `mediaType`, `linkUrl`, `imageUrl`, `source_url`, `scraped_at`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
